OK, this is just sad
There’s no denying that Microsoft’s “I’m A PC” ad campaign is setting the world on fire… (cough… crickets chirping, etc.), but with the economy tanking, I don’t even want to think of the person who is dropping their hard earned cash at the “I’m a PC” store this holiday season. Featuring a wide range of “I’m... Read More
Oh great, now we have reanalyze every Stevenote…
The folks over at Edible Apple, who apparently rewatch old Apple Keynotes for fun, discovered an odd bit of time-traveling “OMGWTF?” that would likely confuse Doc Brown. Check out who Steve deletes from his iPhone’s contacts list at about 5:40 in. On a related note, we notice Steve slipped up and lists Tim Cook as “Head of Apple’s Super Secret Netbook... Read More
WooHoo is free today – still inexplicably on the iTunes store
And speaking of d’oh!… Well, I admit I was wrong. When I saw that someone was selling a Pillsbury Doughboy app on iTunes, I was sure it would have been pulled by the end of the week. Yet, here we are nearly 3 weeks later, and WhooHoo is still going strong. In fact, in honor of the creator’s birthday, Griffin Landa has decided to make WooHoo free for a limited time.... Read More
Apple files its stupidest patent ever
Well, no wonder Tony Fadell left Apple. His latest patent Dubbed “Digital Theater” may be the stupidest patent I have ever read, and I have read three patents. The idea is that using software, various Apple handheld devices could mimic the experience of being at a live movie or sporting event by being able to pick a seat in a virtual theater or stadium from which to...

That ain’t right…
The folks over at Gearlog, bored of filling Pepsi bottles with Coke, decided to do the unthinkable, and put the Windows 7 pre-beta on a brand new MacBook Pro. While the installation went relatively smoothly, it seems the build they had was pretty rough. “The disc didn’t do much, sadly. The system was unable to get online, and various other Windows 7 features, such... Read More
Why does adding RAW support for 4 high-end digital cameras to iPhoto require a system restart?
I’m as big a fan of the RAW format as anyone (ok, actually I have never used the RAW format) but why does adding 4 camera’s RAW profiles to OS X require a system reboot? It just doesn’t seem right… Read More
Fembot application means the iPhone is now perfect
Whether you love it or hate it, the one thing everyone agrees on is that the iPhone was missing is a Fembot application. Without a small metal woman who can do the macarena, we all might as well be using a LG VX8300. Well, you’ll be happy to know that the Fembot app has finally arrived, and the iPhone is now perfect. “Your Fembot can do many moves, actions, gestures,... Read More
Apple launches Apple Developer Forums: then takes them down
Those of you who get excited every time you see Apple’s “We’ll Be Back Soon” post-it on a Tuesday, listen up! Faithful Macenstein reader Anonymous Developer sent us his invite to the new Apple Developer Forums Beta he received this morning. “We are pleased to announce the Apple Developer Forums—a new benefit for developers in the iPhone Developer...

Dear Apple: Just admit there is no one actually looking at iTunes apps before approving them
I’m as big a fan of the Pillsbury Doughboy as you’re likely to find (I have gaudy bright blue Doughboy pajama pants AND a Doughboy oven mitt) but somehow the new iPhone app WhooHoo brings me more sadness than joy. From the app description: “Remember when you were a little child, watching TV, and the famous Pillsbury commercials would come on the screen? Here... Read More
Looks like Apple failed French
According our good friend Chris over at the French Mac site macgeneration, Apple’s MacBook announcements were riddled with quite a few spelling/grammatical errors, the most notable being this one. Apparently “parfaitement con” translates to “perfect idiot” in French. Whoops! The page has since been changed to read “parfaitement conçu”,... Read More
