Google Street view spots Waldo buying an iPhone

Where’s Waldo? Apparently he’s at a UK 02 store buying an iPhone! That’s right, there’s Waldo outside the O2 store at 77 Putney High St Wandsworth, London SW15, UK, where he is obviously about to buy himself an iPhone to take advantage of its GPS capabilities. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jonathan for the tip!  Read More

I’ve never wanted to be farted on so badly

We have a winner! When iFart announced a $5000 competition to create a commercial for their iFarting iPhone app, I didn’t expect much. After all, it takes about $400,000 to videotape a wedding these days, so I figured the entries would amount to little more than a vast sea of underlit, poorly mic’d, badly written entries features troll like teens putting forth minimal effort. And I was right. Yet through this horrible sea of mediocrity, a shinning, beautiful galleon... Read More

Megan Fox and her iPhone dress up – paint the town purple

I know, I know. This is about the 40th Megan Fox and her iPhone picture we’ve run, but it appears I am physically unable to not post pictures of Megan and her iPhone. It’s a sickness, and I need help. Luckily, I know that the first step is admitting I have a problem, which I have done. And I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the second step is dressing up like a police officer and pulling her car over… [via The Grumpiest]  Read More

And the award for “Quickest Conversion of a News Headline into an iPhone Video Game” goes to…

Sniper vs. Pirates, where you need to blast the evil (Somalian?) pirates off their raft and free their hostage crew members. A rowdy crew of heavily armed pirates has kidnapped your crew, and their fate is in your stalwart hands! You have limited amunition [sic] and a tattered bullet proof vest. Battle the bloodthirsty mauraders [sic] across three intense levels of difficulty. Touch the screen and drag your finger to zoom in and line up your scope, then tap to fire precision... Read More

Ow My Balls!

Unlike the ironically named “Freeballin'” pinball game, Ow! My Balls! is pretty much what you might think – a guy getting hit in the nuts for points, although to be fair, the game is slightly deeper than that, as there ARE fart jetpacks. Ow My Balls! is a comedy game that brings top shelf kicked-in-the-crotch humor to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Ow My Balls! incorporates gravity simulation, hilarious sound effects and directional acceleration tactics for... Read More

Games you should be playing: Flood-It!

I just downloaded Flood-It! for the iPhone, and you should too. Why? Because it’s a pretty sweet puzzle game, AND it’s free. Flood-It! is a unique strategy game (at least to me, although I suppose everything is based off something these days). Flood-It!’s developers describe the gameplay thusly: “Flood It! is a simple yet addictive strategy game in which you have to flood the whole game board with one color in less than the allowed steps. You start from... Read More

This looks all kinds of stolen

I was somewhat surprised to see that Nintendo had released its first iPhone game today, the cult classic Donkey Kong, and even more surprised to see it only cost 99¢. Of course, a quick click revealed the game is not from Nintendo at all, but from a French developer called VeryGames. The first thing to tip me off was the splash screen image on iTunes. I don’t know which Anime porno they stole that girl from, but the princess in Donkey Kong NEVER looked that hot. Clue... Read More

Review: Focal XS 2.1-Channel Multimedia + iPod System

Guess what? Your current iPod speakers suck. No, I don’t need to know what you’re using, because I know what you’re NOT using, and that’s the problem. What you should be using are the Focal XS speaker (that is, assuming you have $600 burning a hole in your pocket). “$600 for iPod speakers!” you say? Yup. Focal, makers of high end studio speakers are breaking into the high-end iPod/computer speaker market with the very nice Focal XS, and for... Read More

Finally! An excuse to rub the iPhone all over your body

We all know there’s an iPhone app for just about everything, but what about bodily hygiene? Can the iPhone help you out when you’re feeling not-so-fresh? Well, no, actually, but thankfully iPhone SOAP can! That’s right. Two Eggplants Company has created a 3oz bar of soap that looks just like the iPhone (more or less), complete with icons and home button. And it smells like Hazelnut Coffee! The $7.99 bar of geeky cleanliness ships in a clear plastic box with... Read More
