Wow. Talk about overestimating the value of an iPod!
A 14 year-old Davenport, IA teenager was arrested yesterday after he reportedly stole a female classmate’s iPod and then demanded she send him a sexually explicit video of herself in exchange for its safe return. Davenport Police Capt. David Struckman said the iPod was taken from the girl’s purse last week, and the following day a note was placed in her purse with the... Read More
Crap! If anyone buys this thing, we’ll all have to give back our $100 iPhone credits!
Remember last year when all us “early iPhone adopters” got together and cried poverty, shaking down Apple for a cool $100 rebate? Well, Austrian jeweler Peter Aloisson is about to blow the whole deal! If his $176,400, 17.75 carat iPhone sells, Apple has every right to come knocking on our doors demanding back that credit with interest! Actually, word on the street... Read More
How can there be a Flying Spaghetti Monster if it allows THIS to happen?
This story is tragic enough to make even the most resolute disciple question their faith in the almighty, be it God, Jeebus, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Above: Well, at least the thieves won’t be able to listen to it. iHate PCs reports that an autistic teen’s iPod was stolen after he showed it to friends at school. The teen in question, Cody Scetto, had saved... Read More
Flashback: “This thing called the Dock” – Steve Jobs demos NeXT, bashes the Mac, says his favorite font is “Stencil”? WTF?
Ok, this little piece of Apple history is over 30 minutes long, but I encourage anyone who considers themselves an Apple geek to watch it. It is a demo by Steve Jobs of “NeXTSTEP Release 3” given in 1992, and it provides a slew of interesting tidbits about the newly married Steve Jobs, NeXTSTEP, OS X, and 1992 in general. If you don’t have 30 minutes to spare,... Read More
“STAY AWAY FROM MY ASS, STEVE JOBS!”
Steve Jobs has a long track record of pulling amazing, must-have gadgets seemingly out of his ass, but this is the first time we’ve ever heard of him sticking them UP someone else’s. Ars’ Jacqui Cheng reports on an unusual lawsuit filed last October by Jonathan Lee Riches against a Mr. Philip Woolston , Apple Computers, AND Steve Jobs. The hand-written suit is... Read More
New “unlimited” iPhone plan has same old embarrassing SMS limits
As someone with no friends, the basic 450 minute iPhone calling plan with its 200 text messages is more than adequate for my needs. However, each time I go to the movies (by myself) I notice the throngs of teens (with friends) text messaging each other, quite often texting the person sitting next to them. It actually seems these days that text messaging is more important in a... Read More
Report: The Giants of Switzerland to get bizarrely tiny iPhones on April 4th?
hardmac has published the bizarre photo above alongside an article with alleged details of a Swizz iPhone launch on April 4th. The iPhone’s Swiss carrier is alleged to be Swisscom, and according to this photo, the Swiss iPhone apparently will have fewer and larger icons on the screen, perhaps to accommodate the giant fingers of the Swiss. 🙂 Thanks to faithful Macenstien...

iSmoke… maybe there IS such a thing as bad publicity
Do you hear that beeping? That is the sound of every one of Apple’s lawyers frantically dialing Lucky Strike’s Germany office. Out of all the potential companies Apple may be looking to create some advertising synergy with, odds are a cigarette company ranks fairly low on the list. Faithful German Macenstein reader Roman sent in this shot of a new Lucky Strike ad that... Read More
This guy has more problems than his num lock key…
Faithful Macenstein reader TheCos came across this Apple discussion support post made by BenjiJosef that must be read to be believed (and even then….) Hey guys, I had a slight mishap last night. I urinated onto my MacBook Pro while sleeping Walking after having a few too many. The computer works fine; however, I can not get my num lock to turn off so that I can login. Every... Read More
MSN Messenger once again discriminating against .Mac users
Well, it looks like Microsoft is once again discriminating against .Mac users who want to use MSN Messenger. You may recall that back in September people with “@mac.com” e-mail addresses who tried to login in to Messenger were forced to change their e-mail to something else like, oh I don’t know “hotmail” in order to receive messages. Well, faithful... Read More
