A Few Baaaaaad Apples

Even if it's just Photoshop/GIMP vapor, I really like the idea of a more rugged shell ... and the design is exceptionally clean. I know there are ruggedized laptops for the military and the like, but they really aren't for the average consumer as I envision something like this could be. The page is in Japanese, but the images really speak for themselves." I'm assuming it's just a mockup, the nicer to be proved wrong about ;) For the Exacto knife-and-firesale crowd though, an anonymous reader whispers that "Some guy modded his G4 Cube to have a Propaganda tile mapped inside the case. Looks excellent. That it does.

does shit like this get on the front page?

Ahh, that's nothing...

This is old news. For those with a historical bent, there have been rugged, nasty, heavy portable computers for a long time.

Kaypro comes to mind, and you didn't have to worry about "sad mac" errors, StuffIT files, or all that jibber-jabber.

Plus, it weighed so much, if you dropped it on anything or anyone, it was destroyed, period. Try doing that with your neat little Photoshop laptop!

Damn! Trolled twice in one day!

First they post the OpenGL troll as a complete story, now they accept an "anonymous" submission that is obviously Blowie J. Poag blatantly whoring his Propaganda bullshit. Now all we need is an Ask Slashdot "Is BSD really dying?", and we'll know the trolls really own Slashdot.

I don't care what you say, its still a macintosh

[Anonymous Coward]

Let's be reasonable here. Its still a fsckin' macintosh, which means they could make it out of depleted uranium and give it a 1-gig wireless access directly to the backbone, a 300G drive, and sell it with ten complimentary dancing girls, and NO ONE WOULD WANT IT.

IT IS A DAMN MACINTOSH. I REPEAT: A DAMN MACINTOSH.

IT IS NOT A COMPUTER.

Thank you.

Oh come on.

There's many, many examples of this type of thing. Just do a quick search on google.

Everything is better than the Dark Side

I do not own an iBook and won't be buying one, because I am perfectly happy with my 33 Mhz 68030 Pb 150, when it comes to sitting down somewhere with a machine. The fancy stuff I do on my desktop. But if I were to buy a brand new laptop I would buy either an ibook or a Titanium, because I refuse to buy anything from the probes from the Dark Side. If I would go out and buy stuff from Dell, Compaq or any other uninnovative pusher of mostly very ugly hardware, I would also pay for the Windows shit they install on it. In doing that I will supporting an evil empire that has no other goal than complete control over ALL information. Besides, as many may know, Apple machinery lasts longer and is far more easy to use. And on top of that, those Macs have all the technology you need for the coming 5 years built in: 802.11, Firewire (iLink), USB and they can run the best operating system on this planet: Mac OS X.
