On line at the Sydney iPad Sleepout
Faithful Macenstein reader Jeremy Moses sent us this very cool mini documentary he and his friends at Variety Garage made giving us a glimpse behind the scenes of the iPad launch at Sydney’s Flagship Apple Store. (Well, really it appears to be a documentary of one very cute line waiter named “Jade” who for the record has an open invitation to be our Mac Chick of the Month), but it’s still very interesting to see what goes on during one of these overnight...

Well, this explains a lot…
If you hate long, over-produced intros, you can start at 20 seconds in. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Dave for the tip! Read More
The Gilligan’s Island iPad stand
Now that Apple has announced it has sold over 2 million iPads in just two months, it’s pretty obvious that the planet’s resources will soon be depleted by 3rd party iPad accessory makers looking to make a quick buck. What the world needs now is a renewable source of iPad accessories. Well, faithful Macenstein reader Dejan sent of pics of his rather unique iPad stand he made from Bamboo Chopsticks. As we all know, bamboo is a very fast-growing, strong, and easy... Read More
Ahh… but can he make Ghidorah disappear?
Out of all the careers in the world, I would assume a Magician has got to be one of the least rewarding (ranking just above writing for a Mac blog). Even if you’re really good, odds are you won’t make any money and die alone obscurity (or the Poconos). I can’t tell whether this guy is famous or not, and I lack the interest to Google him, but I DO know two things about him: 1 – He’s pretty good (not GREAT, but pretty good) 2 – He’s rich... Read More
Well, that’s ONE way to slow down iPad demand
Redefining “awkward”
A lot is being made of this video from 2007 of Bill Gates purportedly “predicting the iPad” in 2007 while sitting next to Steve Jobs at the All Things Digital conference. Personally I don’t think Bill is saying anything that someone who grew up watching bad sci-fi movies from the 80’s hasn’t envisioned for the last 30 years (guilty) – plus odds are by 2007 there was already an iPad prototype in Cupertino. However, Bill’s opinions are not what... Read More
Is it possible Steve Jobs does not hate Flash – he just loves LEGOs?
With all the free advertising Steve’s been giving LEGOs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad, it makes you wonder just how large a percentage of the Lego company does Steve own? photo by Rob Lef Read More
Hopeless Romantic
The Bride of Macenstein is no stranger to romance. Early on, while dating, I got her a .357 Magnum handgun for her birthday. I figured with a present like that, she could get herself all the jewelry she wanted. Well, flash forward some 15 or so years to Mother’s Day 2010, and the romance is as alive as ever. Behold my Mother’s Day gift to the Bride of Macenstein! That’s right, it’s a collage of all her Flight Control HD scores, something ranked just above... Read More

FrankenPad is ugly, fears fire, and awesome!
MacRumors member eTip has come up with a pretty interesting mod for his Jesus tablet that appears to have solved his iPad typing problems, albeit perhaps at the expense of the iPad’s portability and cool factor… “So, I was sitting on the couch last night, trying to find a comfortable way to balance my iPad and BT keyboard while typing….. It’s possible, but not easy and not comfortable. Now, I COULD have a) walked into the other room to use my desktop,... Read More
