“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 18 – Belkin Grip Ergo iPhone case

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Matthew. On the Eighteenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) The Grip Ergo iPhone case from the good folks at Belkin! Above: why does this case remind me of the movie DUNE? OK, let’s be honest here. At this point, if you don’t own an iPhone, you’re pretty much a loser. No no, don’t give me any crap about you’re waiting... Read More

Apple’s iPhone makes an audio cameo in Minority Report 5 years before it’s released

You know that little sound your iPhone makes when you plug it in to charge? If you’re like me, odds are you never really thought much about it. Frankly I just assumed it was some low level sound wired into the guts of the iPhone. But as faithful Macenstein reader Greg discovered, that sound has been around for some time, and has in fact had a brush with none other than the King of Hollywood Royalty, Tom Cruise. Untitled from Dr Macenstein on Vimeo. So I was watching Minority... Read More

On the Eleventh Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) a iLuv iMM173 Dual Dock Alarm Clock for iPod/iPhone! If you’re anything like us, odds are you buy a new iPod or iPhone every 3 months, as well as a new iPod speaker system and alarm clock. And like us, your counter tops are now probably pretty much overrun with those speakers, clocks,... Read More

“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 7 – AKG K 309 Earbuds

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Chris! On the Seventh Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A set of AKG K 309 Earbuds! Sure, we all love our iPods and iPhones, but let’s face it, the stock earbuds are not exactly the best-sounding or most comfortable things around. Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered with the AKG K 309 earbuds, a noticeable step up in quality. Your music... Read More

Privacy be DAMNED! This holiday season, Background Check App is the ultimate party game

We’ve all been there: you’re young, hanging out with your friends, high on Mountain Dew, and then someone yells out “Hey! Let’s run some guns down to Cuba!” Flash forward 10 years, and you’re SURE that 5-year stint in the Federal Penitentiary will never come back to haunt you. But then you end up at a Christmas party with me, and I have the Background Check App (free) on my iPhone. You’re Busted. Yes, Background Check App is getting... Read More

Review: Konnet Shine case for iPhone

If you asked 10 iPhone users what their favorite iPhone case is, I think it’s a safe bet you would get 10 different answers. The criteria for what makes a good iPhone case is one of the more subjective discussions a geek can have. Take me and the decidedly less geeky Bride of Macenstein, for example. We received a duo pack of Konnet’s new ultra slim (and aptly named) Shine Metallic Case for iPhone for the iPhone 3Gs in the mail, and I figured that like most girls,... Read More

Review: Livespeakr proves good things come in small, rotating, rechargeable packages

Design The Livespeaker consists of a rotating cradle/dock which can accommodate both the iPhone and the iPod touch (due to the different... Read More
