My wfe’s iPhone stolen: Anyone know how to have Find My iPhone “auto refresh” the location?
Well, this evening the Bride of Macenstein’s iPhone was stolen. While I was of course pissed, I was also thrilled at the prospect of using Find My iPhone to find the thing. We’re in a relatively wussy, crime free town, so I figured it would be kids who took her bag and it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Long story short, we tracked the iPhone down to a restaurant, but were of course unable to actually go around shaking down the help and patrons, even with... Read More
Netflix Instant Streaming comes to the iPhone
This morning I woke up to a Tweet from faithful Macenstein reader @TheJTizzle alerting me that the long-promised Netflix for iPhone has finally been released. It appears to work awesomely, although it seems to be relegated to just instant streaming titles, (ie, you can’t seem to browse current and upcoming DVD releases and add them to your queue as you can on the iPad, unless I’m missing something) but the streaming works great, even over 3G! I must say, with all... Read More
Laser-powered stripper platform with built-in iPod dock is this year’s MUST HAVE gift
Well, the iPod connector has now officially been put into everything. Tasked with the the challenge of creating a “coffee table”, London-based designer Moritz Waldemeyer has gone WAAAY above and beyond the call of duty by creating some sort of laser-beam themed GoGo Dancing platform, complete with smoke machine, and yes, an iPod Dock. This certainly is cooler than my current coffee table, which consists of a 30 Lucky Charms boxes duct-taped together. Finally,... Read More

New study shows iPhone users’ vans rock twice as often as Android users’ vans
Well, the big news in the Mac-o-web today seems to be this graph, taken out of this poll, which seems to show that iPhone users have TWICE as much sex as Android users. I of course have my theories on this data, which mainly boil down to owning an Android phone is not impressive to anyone, and owning an iPhone is, similar to the way owning a BMW might appear more impressive than owning a Hyundai. Like it or not, expensive, sexy cars, gadgets, clothes and houses tend to turn... Read More
It’s funny ’cause it’s true
As someone who is trying to get an app made, I find both sides of this conversation to bee eerily accurate. (Flash only, so shut up). Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Bill for the link! via 9to5 Read More
Burglar-proof your iPhone with these “Jersey Shore” cases
Back in MY day, It used to be you could let the world know that you had arrived simply by owning the iPhone. But with iPhone prices dropping and everyone and their sister sporting one now, the air of exclusivity has somewhat disappeared. However, imagine the looks of jealousy, respect, and sexual longing you will receive when people see you have slapped one of these ultra-classy “Jersey Shore” MusicSkins onto your iPhone! Not buying it? Well, at least no one will... Read More
Apple pulls those deflection videos from their site
As noted by Tech Crunch, Apple has pulled all those beautifully shot “But their phones do it too!” comparison videos Apple was using to show how common the iPhone 4’s drop in reception is when held “in a certain way”. I don’t know why, but I decided to go over to the Canadian Apple site and grab all the videos before they disappear from that site too. I guess since they are being pulled they feel more special, like collectors items – sort... Read More
Guess what I’m humming?
Yes, even I, the king of the iPhone 4 bitching, must admit to getting a bit burned out on bashing Apple over the iPhone reception issue. In fact, I was more than willing to put on my happy fanboy mask, pretend the iPhone works as advertised, and call it a lesson learned. But when I see someone put forth actual effort into an iPhone 4-bashing song, especially one with a catchy chorus, then I feel I just have to share. So here is faithful Macenstein reader Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff‘s... Read More
