Apple lets its Fart Flag fly

Earlier today we reported that Apple had finally allowed the controversial “Pull My Finger” app onto the iTunes store. The application, which is designed to play a humorous selection of fart sounds, had previously been denied iTunes acceptance due to “limited utility”. Well, it seems that Apple’s change of heart had little to do with any new “utility” the app might have, and more to do with Apple’s new “pro-farting”... Read More

“Stack the Memory to the Sky” – Apple music tribute

What do you get when you cross “Office Space” with “The Office” and then pretend Macs are widely used in the corporate world? You get an awesome piece of pro Seagate/Apple propaganda in the form of a music video by The Sniper Twins, featuring way more production value than you would think anyone would put into something like this. The whole thing was allegedly shot at Tekserve’s HQ “On company time”. Nice job guys! Thanks to faithful... Read More

Come beat me on Adrenaline Pool Online

Having played (and won) 3 games of Adrenaline Pool Lite for the iPhone, I got cocky and decided that anonymously beating other anonymous players was a waste of time. I wanted my victims to know they had been smited by the mighty Dr. Macenstein! Yes, somehow I lost this game too… So I plunked down the $4.99 for the full version, Adrenaline Pool Online where you can make an online profile and play against friends. Since signing up, I have not won ONE single match, and I... Read More

Page Six is reporting that Justin “I’m a Mac” Long, fresh from his break up with Kirsten Dunst (which was fresh from his break up with Drew Barrymore) is now dating MTV’s favorite bisexual, Tila Tequila. “But on Halloween, the “Mac Guy” hooked up with trampy bisexual Tila Tequila in Las Vegas.

Entourage “iPhone continuity” error

Faithful Macenstein reader Nicholas Penree noticed something little odd in last night’s Entourage episode. See if you can spot it. That’s right! Whoever is in charge of continuity on the set of Entourage should be fired. Clearly for artistic reasons known only to them, the writers wanted Perrey Reeves’ Mrs. Ari to be using her iPhone upside down, yet in the following shot it is right side up! Why not just slap a sombrero and a snorkel on her? Geez.  Read More

Philadelphia International’s Macs caught sleeping on the job… again!

Faithful Macenstein reader Jeremy, who apparently spends more time than most people going through Philadelphia International Airport, has once again spotted a bunch of PIA’s Macs sleeping on the job. Who knows how many ads for Starbucks and Sbarro’s were not seen?!?  Read More

Disney World’s Nazi Secret Uncovered by WikiMe?

So, I was at Disney World last week, and it being one of the few times I have ever left my house, I figured it would be an ideal chance for me to test out the WikiMe iPhone app. WikiMe is designed to use your iPhone’s GPS to figure out where you are and then use Wikipedia matches to give you information about local points of interest. Well, I certainly found this result interesting… Being an animation major at school, I had of course heard the rumors that Disney... Read More

Axiotron Modbook gets some product placement lovin’

Eagle-eyed faithful Macenstein reader Aaron noticed what appears to be the first example of Modbook product placement in Hollywood. A recent episode of Sci-Fi’s new show Sanctuary sported a scene where Henry shows Dr. Magnus one of those annoyingly over thought Hollywood computer-type OS’s that could never exist, and it appears to be running on a Axiotron Modbook. Now, I realize not EVERY computer company has the budget to get their gear in Transformers 2, but seriously,... Read More
