PowerBook 15" and 12" Disassembly

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday September 21, 2003 @01:11AM from the violating-your-warranty dept.

questamor writes "The ever gadget-driven among us are at it again, with a Japanese site disassembling a brand new 15" PowerBook. Of interest is dual blowers. Quite a good deal packed into that sleek Al case. An older photo article on the same site details a 12" takeapart. That's stunning for barely an inch thick. Kudos to Apple's designers for a machine that looks as well designed in as out, and to the guys willing to unscrew the screws on a machine barely 5 days into warranty."

  Ah yes, but can you read "japenese"?

  I remember being curious how babelfish would translate "natsukashii" to English... There isn't really an English word with the same mix of meaning and feeling, but I figured it would come up with "nostalgic" or something. Nope. I got:
  
  The bosom oak, it is.
  
  Adding a few words for context here and there, it came up with the following alternative options:
  
  The handle it did, and applied.
  Handle abortive grain person.
  and
  He does bosom tilting.
  
  Good for hours of entertainment!

Good to see the very same dissassembled laptop being used as a web server as well...

There is nothing at all trollish about the parent of this post.
That's just to prove how good they are at hiding it these days. You won't even know that someone is a troll unless it's too late. Says an anonymous victim: "My fiancee turned out to be a troll! All that time, I had thought that she's a human (and a pretty one, too), luckily last night someone even more anonymous than me sent me an anonymous email moderating her as (-1, Troll). Naturally, I drove her out of my house immediately. To think, we were going to get married the next weekend! Oh, how humiliating it would have been!"
The troll declined to comment or show her face.

You got the perfect strip dance for geeks! Would you like a lap dance from an IBM Z990?
