And just - [The BIG news from CES: OhMiBod keeps Innovating & Vibrating](https://macenstein.com/2013/01/the-big-news-from-ces-ohmibod-keeps-innovating-vibrating/) - While we were unable/didn't want to attend CES this year, faithful Macenstein reader Mark made sure we didn't miss the BIGGEST news coming out of CES this year, namely that iBod, the company that began as a bit of a tech joke for making iPod-compatible vibrators a few years back, has continued to innovate and - [Geek up the tree with this paper craft Happy Mac](https://macenstein.com/2012/12/geek-up-the-tree-with-this-paper-craft-happy-mac/) - Thanks to "The Man" (the Fireman, that is) this year I have finally stopped using candles to light up my Christmas tree. Sure, it takes away from the strict 1800's traditions I like to follow, but on the plus side it blows wide-open the opportunity for safely covering my tree in flammable paper ornaments. And - [Review: HyperJuice Plug 10](https://macenstein.com/2012/12/review-hyperjuice-plug-10/) - If there's one thing that the recent Hurricane Sandy taught me, it's that I can't live for more than 3 hours without power.

When choosing to "Start a LAN World", we would be told our game was being hosted on "0.0.0.0:59922" instead of "192.168.1.7:59922", and those people attempting to join us received "Connection Refused" errors.

I'm a fan of almost ANY iPhone-themed desert, however, I tend to steer clear of the ones that somehow have Internet Explorer in them.

Why? Well, because it pisses us off, that's why! And that's ALWAYS fun. In light of the - [Minecraft timelapse: Macbook pro RETINA](https://macenstein.com/2012/10/minecraft-timelapse-macbook-pro-retina/) - Here's a quick way to verify whether or not you are a geek - do you find this video to be incredibly impressive?

So in a way I can appreciate the stance of all those Samsung GS3 fanboys, as - ["So, congrats me about getting the Apple 5"](https://macenstein.com/2012/09/so-congrats-me-about-getting-the-apple-5/) - OK, maybe those Samsung GS3 fanboys really DO have a point. - [First iPhone 5 Broken on Camera](https://macenstein.com/2012/09/first-iphone-5-broken-on-camera/) - Well, that didn't take long.

You've got to love the snarky, design-centric taped-on overlay, presumably left by a designer who was less than impressed in the choice of the 1980's Stencil Font, even on a temporary maintenance sign. I'm filing this under "definitely true" - [iPhone 5 promo video - It's funny because it's true](https://macenstein.com/2012/09/iphone-5-promo-video-its-funny-because-its-true/) - This apparently came out last week and 6 million people have already seen it, but I was on vacation, so screw you. - ["Up"/"Birds" double feature poster](https://macenstein.com/2012/09/upbirds-double-feature-poster/) - Usually when one hears the term "Mashup", they think of a horrible pop song shoe-horning itself into a classic, well known song to generate quick sales for a talentless new "artist".
