Artist Creates Mac Shrine

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-some-people-do dept.

uucee writes "Wired has a story on an artist's Mac shrine. Apparently a big Mac fan, the photographer "tried to persuade his assistant to get an Apple tattoo for a photo shoot. She refused, opting for a temporary one instead." No word of a Macquarium being part of the collection." I like the idea of a desk built out of Macs.

    STOP TRYING TO SELL US MACS. We know they're cool, we know they're powerful, we know they took an open OS and closed it, but for goodness sake, this is meant to be a news site and not some sort of mac-advert.

    I'd love to gain some insight into the psychology behind people who become fanatical over products. What exactly motivates people to do all these crazy things in the name of a piece of electronics?

    Now please don't give me any BS about how it's because the Mac is "so high quality" and "a classy piece of gear" as a Machead once tried to convince me, you can get high quality cars, stereo systems, hell even high quality food, but you don't see people build shrines to the Porsche do you? Or maybe you do.....

    If anything I can kind of understand Linux freaks, as it's more a movement (vive la revolution and all that) than a product. But the Mac isn't anything other than some heavily marketed electronics. What motivates these people?

    Likewise desks made of macs are still desks made of plastic, which are cheap!

    I'd rather see a mac made of wood than a desk made of macs. Macintosh..damn them always trying to make things cheap and jacking up the price.

    I'll settle for a cheaply made PC at a cheap price.
