OK… how about THIS one…
[UPDATE: OK we have confirmed this one as fake, but we’re leaving it up for discussion’s sake. The other one with the weird vent hat thing still has potential.] Another day, another Mac mini “leak”. I’m not sure why we’re getting all these, but I find them interesting, so here you go. Click to embiggen. I’d love to believe this one is real, but it looks like someone took all the criticisms of the last Mac mini post and created a new,... Read More

Papermaster? Hmm.. Never heard of him
It looks like Apple’s love affair with Mark Papermaster, the golden boy Apple hired from IBM to take over the whole iPod thing once Tony Fadell left, may have hit a rough patch. 9to5Mac is reporting that all traces of Mark Papermaster have been removed from Apple’s executive bio’s page. Above: 9to5 managed to grab this pic before Papermaster’s bio was removed so we can all remember the good times. IBM has filed suit against Papermaster for violating... Read More
A drunken Pete Doherty and his MacBook Pro kicked out of a London Restaurant
An allegedly drunken and disorderly Pete Doherty (of Babyshambles fame… ahh who are we kidding? He’s famous for once dating Kate Moss) and his MacBook Pro were kicked out escorted out of the Cipriani restaurant in London this weekend. It’s rare indeed to catch celebs walking around with their MacBooks, but even rarer to find one dragging along the MagSafe adapter. From this shot it looks like he brought the power cord with him because he planned to watch... Read More
Can’t decide which MacBook event coverage to watch? Why not watch them all?!
Kind of like a sports bar on Sunday, 9to5Mac has created a Mac Geek’s “DirecTV” type viewing system where you can watch the MacBook event feeds from 4 different sites simultaneously. Coverage is available from Gizmodo, Engadget, ArsTechnica, and Computerworld. The page even auto-refreshes so you can just sit back and let your eyes bleed. While this is BRUTAL on a MacBook, it works just great on a 30-inch cinema display, so assuming you have one (or better yet,... Read More
The Top 5 reasons I feel the leaked MacBook photos are fake
The Mac rumor community has gotten so competitive these days that I am not surprised to see 9to5Mac and others have rushed to press with the latest “leaked photos” of the new MacBooks rumored to hit the Apple Store tomorrow. It appears a little thing called “fact checking” is the latest casualty in the race to “get the scoop”. Well, at the risk of adding some actual journalistic integrity to this media frenzy, I actually took 5 seconds and... Read More
iWork and iLife ’09 to share the spotlight Tuesday?
Well, despite Apple’s invite making it very clear that the “focus would be on notebooks” at Tuesday’s special event, word is now trickling out that we may be seeing some token updates to both the iLife and iWork suites. Mac Soda, the same folks who brought us the nVidia graphics card in the new MacBooks rumors claims to have knowledge of a joint notebooks/iApps announcement set for Tuesday. I’m not a big fan of joint special announcements outside... Read More
Does Apple’s October 14th invite confirm the glass trackpad rumors?
Apple has finally (unofficially) confirmed the release of new MacBooks on October 14th via one of its trademarked “mysterious special event invitations that we never seem to get”. While conventional wisdom has it that the image on the invite is that of the back of the new 13-inch MacBook Apple will be selling us, faithful Macenstein reader Payton decided that everybody is being a little too lazy in taking the invite at face value. So he came up with a different... Read More
Macs don’t cause cancer… PEOPLE with Macs cause cancer!
Valleywag reports on the findings of a French publication called The Liberation of France which claims that Mac Pros emit leukemia-causing agents (such as Benzene) into the air when used. Multiple reports coming out of the Apple support forums mention strong toxic odors believed to be caused by “a protective resin coating on the RAM PCB’s and/or RAM riser card PCB’s and should diminish over time as it burns away.” So not only does Apple make you pay more...
