I’m a bit disappointed.
OK; I’m a Republican. But, still, I am amused by self-made Internet celebrity and Brittany Spears aficionado, Chris Crocker. I find the fellow Tennessean, who’s fame is now well into its 16th minute, oddly funny, and very occasionally insightful. Sometimes, anyway.
I just assumed that someone who seems so Internet savvy [...]

Imagine. You’re young. You’re bored. You’re an Apple Zombie. And, you have no place to go.
Sadly, that seems to be the predicament for two Bay-area teens, Daniel Fukuba, 17, and Eric Vicenti, 16. According to these brain munchers, they have been banned from the Palo Alto Apple Store for downloading [...]

The smell of fresh brains still permeates Beale Street in Downtown Memphis. Yes, last night was Zombie Walk 2008 here in the Bluff City, as our town’s Undead Community meets for fellowship, fresh air, and to dine on the Living.
Zombies lumbered past the FedEx Forum, home of the NBA’s laughing stock Memphis Grizzlies, by [...]

Well, my old Linksys router/wireless access point finally gave up the ghost – not a big surprise, I guess, considering it was about 5 years old.  So, it was time to get something new.
Since I bought the Linksys, back in my dreaded PC days, my thoughts have changed.  I have gotten a taste for brains [...]

An exciting day for a new Apple Zombie…
My copy of Office: Mac 2008 arrived from Amazon.com today (’cause it’s cheaper there than at the Apple Store). I am totally stoked.
Finally, I can write contracts, open swanky spreadsheets, and produce PowerPoint presentations for the wife right here on my new 24″ iMac. I am [...]

As I type, Britney Spears is late for a custody hearing regarding her two children. At the same time, the preliminaries for MacWorld are on-going, just up the road in San Francisco.
Could these two seemingly unrelated events be coincidental, or is it something more?
Perhaps Britney munches the occasional brain? Lord knows, she needs [...]

Most of what you will find on Apple Zombies is original content — stuff that either I, or Scott write. Still, occasionally, one stumbles over something that must be included.
Here’s an on-line survey that anyone visiting this site must take. It measures your addiction to all things Apple, a good marker for potential [...]

There are some things that I simply can’t explain. This is seemingly one of them.
I was walking through a Germantown, TN grocery store today — a big store, part of a very large multi-state supermarket chain, owned by a company in St. Louis. I stumbled across this in a tented display of Christmas [...]

Apple Zombies is usually a blog about what interests me and Scott Porch. That usually means snipets of digital entertainment news, Apple minutiae, or triflings about what we call “Apple Zombies,” those people who mindlessly follow the Pied Piper of Cupertino, and believe even the most minor advance in Apple hardware is groundbreaking stuff, [...]

Yesterday was a bad day. I lost my iPod Touch.
Losing things can be disconcerting. But, if you’re a true Apple Zombie, like me, losing your sixth appendage with your music, videos, pictures, and Internet bookmarks can make you more nervous than Britney Spears the night before Star Magazine goes to press. It’s [...]

The Internet is abuzz with talk of Apple’s latest acquisition. Rumor has it that our zombie leader, Steve, has his sights set on a major pancake franchise.
If the whispers are true, and the deal is closed, The International House of Pancakes, known widely as IHOP, will be rebranded “iHop” to match other Apple brands. [...]

It’s a cold day here in Germantown. But, despite the chill, hoards of brain-seeking Apple Zombies are converging on the local Apple Store.
‘Seems Steve’s vague promises of unspecified day-after-Thanksgiving savings on in-store items that may, or may not, be of use, had the Undead excited. You can see their expressionless faces as they [...]

I had a nice lunch today — a tasty snack of brains. Sure, my status as an Apple Zombie is well-documented, but, my brain-numbed mission to get Hannah Montana tickets is another matter, indeed.
If you have a pre-teen daughter, you know more than you would like about Miley Cyrus, and her annoying pop music-singing [...]

Wow. That was quick.
Apple has released the first update to its much ballyhooed OS 10.5 Leopard system. The new update, dubbed 10.5.1, at just under 40 MB, addresses some basic fixes and does some dusting and cleaning in the OS. Details on the changes can be found here. It took [...]

I don’t know if Lindsay Lohan is a Mac or Windows user — or whether she has the intelligence to use a computer at all. But, Ms. Lohan has been known to mindlessly wander the streets at night, with a vacant, empty look on her face. Suspicious?
Our zombie-wanna-be entered and emerged from [...]
