iPad game pricing is gonna suck

Macrumors managed to get a peek at the iPad app store main page and was able to snag the following pic showing some of the upcoming prices on the new iPad-specific “HD” games. Now, admittedly I have not played any of these games, but from the screen shots I’ve seen I have not seen a whole worth paying 5 times (or more) for any of the games I already play on the iPhone. I suppose developers think people are used to paying more for something with the words HD... Read More

Applegirl002 sings her way into our hearts

Meet Applegirl002, or as I like to call her, “The Future Bride of Macenstein”. Sure, I’m already happily married, but let’s face it, it’s only a matter of time before she leaves me, and any woman with 3 iPhones who can sing like Beyonce is someone I can really see spending the rest of my life with. Maybe I’m blinded by love, but I think she has a really nice voice, and I can easily see her as the opening act for the new Journey band, filling... Read More

Review: Embarrass yourself thin with the Withings Body Scale

These days it seems there are only two things that will motivate Americans to lose weight – Money, and Embarrassment. Money (as in a reality TV show) or Embarrassment (like wanting to look good at a wedding or class reunion for people you haven’t seen in 20 years). Well, I’m happy to say I am not quite fat enough for someone to actually pay to watch me lose weight, so I decided to try the embarrassment thing. Unfortunately, being a geek with no friends, I had... Read More

Ouch

Hmm… A not so subtle move on Google’s part? Oddly doing the same search for Droid Phones yields no results. I assume this either means no one has ever had a problem with one, or no one has ever bought one. [via imgur]  Read More

ATTENTION BARGAIN HUNTERS! Save $440 off this fart app! ACT NOW!

Despite being a “day one” iPhone owner, I somehow was able to resist buying any of the farting apps, even though in the beginning, that’s all there was. Well, OK, there was Super Monkey Ball, a couple virtual lighter apps, and then the fart apps. And while I like to pride myself on my fart-app resisting fortitude, I may crack under the pressure of this AMAZING bargain. That’s right, Western Wind, an app previously being sold for $449 (well, previously... Read More

Yeah, what HE said

Braniac Daniel Eran Dilger from AppleInsider discusses the “No Flash for Apple Handhelds” issue, and even has some charts and stuff to back up his arguments. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jonro for the link!  Read More

How To: Fix a noisy car stereo iPod/iPhone connection with this Magic Box

I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but one of the few reasons I opted to spend $6,000 more for a Toyota Camry over a Toyota Corolla is the Camry had an AUX in port for my iPhone, and the Corolla did not. For years in my old Ford Contour I had to make due with horrible iPod FM transmitters that may possibly work fine in Nebraska, but which are more or less useless if you live outside a big radio market like New York City, as do I. And while at first I was overjoyed at my new found... Read More

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Well, St. Patrick’s Day kind of snuck up on us this year, so we’re just going to go ahead and do what we did last year, give away an obnoxious Bagpiping iPhone ringtone to you all! Above: Bill puts the “Mac” in “McEvoy”. Yes, we’re well aware that our readers are raging alcoholics and will likely begin drinking at 5PM this afternoon (if they haven’t already), and not stop until sometime after Labor Day. So, in an effort to give... Read More

Review: PhoneSuit’s Primo iPhone/iPod battery

PhoneSuit’s been making a pretty decent name for itself in the “rechargeable external iPhone battery” game, and their latest offering, the Primo, is a welcome, if not pint-sized addition to the family. Available in either black or white and costing $34.95 (PhoneSuit also offers a 3-pack bundle including 3 of PhoneSuit’s screen protectors as well for only : $89.95 – a savings of $15 over buying the batteries individually) the thumb-sized, “works... Read More
