How Mac OS X’s Alex Helped Roger Ebert “speak” again
When legendary film critic Roger Ebert lost his lower jaw to cancer, his career, and perhaps cultural relevance both appeared to be in jeopardy. Yet thanks to recent technologies such as blogging and Twitter, he has been able to successfully make the transition from being one of the most prolific and opinionated “speakers” to one of the most prolific and opinionated writers.

Now THAT’S a Mobile Home!
We’re no stranger to the Apple inspired art of Uber-talented interface artist Johannes P Osterhoff, but we must say, we’re quite impressed with his latest endeavor, the “Giant Home Folder Icon”. While it was apparently not designed as a Halloween costume, I would have definitely put an extra Snickers in his bag if he showed up to my house.

Apple – The most romantic OS on the planet
Everyone knows the French are the most romantic people on the planet. After all, they have a 1063 ft erection in the middle of their capital (Ba dum bum!). Well, faithful Macenstein reader Jordan sent us a link to a love song by French singing sensation Calogero which not only makes heavy use of Mac imagery in the video, but the song itself is called “Pomme C”, or “Apple C”, which to all you johnny come latelys is what they Command Key used to be called...
