Tips: How to “forward delete” on a MacBook
OK, those of you who have had Mac portables forever can just shut up right now. In fact, I am considering disabling comments to keep you’re smug asses from typing “duh”, and “why not tell us where the ‘power’ key is?” – so be kind. As someone who has been raised solely on desktop Macs, my move last November to the MacBook was a bold step I knew would be full of compromises. One of the first and most notable of which was the reduced... Read More
Celebrity Mac Chick sighting – Beyonce
Above: Beyonce and Jay-Z do a little pool-side web surfing on Beyonce’s MacBook. Do I even have to point out at that once again we have a celebrity walking around with a MacBook with no case? Originally I was skeptical as to the conspiracy theories of product placement and pay-offs between Apple and celebs, but looking at these pics, it was almost as though a concerted effort was being made to make sure the Apple logo was visible to the paparazzi. More poolside pics... Read More
Why won’t celebrities buy a F*$%ing case for their MacBooks?
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Why_won_t_celebrities_buy_a_F_ing_case_for_their_MacBooks; OK. This is now getting ridiculous. Why can’t celebrities take proper care of their MacBooks? First Jennifer Aniston, then Heather Graham. OK, they’re just girls, what do they know? (just kidding, ladies!) But now here we have George Clooney and Jude Law both dangerously flailing their Macs around as if they were Michael Jackson with a baby. I mean, what if it should... Read More
Popular Mechanics pits iMac vs. Gateway One and MacBook vs. Asus M51SR – Guess who wins?
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Popular_Mechanics_pits_Mac_vs_Gateway_Asus_Guess_who_wins; It’s fanboy Tuesday here at Macenstein! Popular Mechanics recently ran two comparison tests between the latest iMac and the Gateway One, and the latest Penryn MacBook vs. Asus M51SR. “In both the laptop and desktop showdowns, Apple’s computers were the winners.

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/PICS_Heather_Graham_hiding_from_paparazzi_behind_her_MacBook; Sorry guys, I can’t NOT post this! Really, I tried, but I have a weakness for Mac Chicks. So if you don’t like it you can kiss my big black ass. Er.. I mean my pasty, doughy white ass. Above: Well, if you’re going to hide your beautiful face from the paparazzi behind something, a MacBook is a great choice. Or is she sniffing it? Yes, the Macarazzi was out in... Read More
When product placement attacks!
There’s an Apple in the House! Or two, or three… hard to tell. I’ve heard nothing but good things about FOX’s House, yet for some reason I’ve never felt compelled to put forth the effort of adding it to my DVR’s schedule. However, according to faithful Macenstein reader Phil, apparently I should, as it is pretty much a commercial for Apple’s computers and gear, with episode 10 of season 4 being particularly Apple-whoreish. WHATS UP... Read More
This guy has more problems than his num lock key…
Faithful Macenstein reader TheCos came across this Apple discussion support post made by BenjiJosef that must be read to be believed (and even then….) Hey guys, I had a slight mishap last night. I urinated onto my MacBook Pro while sleeping Walking after having a few too many. The computer works fine; however, I can not get my num lock to turn off so that I can login. Every other key seems to work fine, except that one. Is there anyway to bypass this? Thanks guys. Sincerely, Your... Read More

San Francisco-based Waterfield Designs has a range of lightweight laptop sleeves that will have you wondering why you put up with back strain all those years. We tried out their SleeveCase with Flap and Strap, a good compromise between a regular laptop bag and one of their strapless... Read More
