iMac G5 Porn Roundup
boredMDer writes "Apparently someone who has already recieved their iMac G5 has decided to take it apart. Stupid if only for the fact that he's just voided his warranty."
pjcreath writes "Apple has posted official pages listing the components that are 'easy' to install (including the LCD!) and describing how to troubleshoot hardware problems using diagnostic LEDs inside the case. For the very curious, you can download the high-resolution TIFF (10MB) of the iMac's innards from Apple."
Brilliant idea. Post a page of high-res shots to Slashdot...
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
Putting the word "Porn" in the headline when no actual pr0n is involved is just CRUEL.
...Also, I didn't know Buggalo could fly.
You're kidding, right? This is Apple, the company that runs the long-running movie trailer site and the iTunes Music Store. They've got more bandwidth than Jesus.
I write in my journal
And now we took apart his web server
Yeah, I've never seen a PC that has its insides all done up to look cool. What a waste of time!
My sig is blank, I typed this by hand.
I'm gonna void your warrenty allll night long!
But I did void the warranty on this iMac. The plants are happy and you can see the blueberry glow from a good distance! The old iMacs like this one seem much harder to gut.

120 chars of filth!
HAHA. When I first read the title I thought it said G5 Porn and thought it was funny because you know "HAHA it looks like porn". Then I looked at it the second time, saw that it still said G5 porn. Then instead of laughing I conjured up images some of the mac zealots in my college closing the door, turning off the lights, and lubing up usb port. Now I can't get it out of my head. Someone shoot me.

i found that winzip de-compresses it as well.
.hqx file is 10,316 KB, but the decompressed .tif file is 7,582 KB.
funny thing is that the compressed
as the new G5 suggests, those apple folks are sure good at packing a lot of hardware into a tight space. but looks like they still need some help packing the software...
No disassemble G5, NOOOO!!!!
Me I'm a maker, mostly of axioms.
"They say porn!", I shout.
Only circuit boards I see.
But wait, slot loading?
G-Force music visualization
LED diagnostics? That's way too complicated...
I think THIS Apple tech note is much more helpful.
Thanks for the tip!
It is robot pornography. See Futurama.
Why can't we mod posts stupid?
Lucky for you we can't.
Bad analogies are like waxing a monkey with a rainbow.
No, Y'know what, I'm not even gonna comment on that.
Seeing as how this is slashdot and how the level of balanced criticism of "alternative" (i.e. non-*nix) software recently has been a little askew, I'd probably appreciate it if you didn't. I suspect that many others would appreciate it too. Well done for your restraint.
Technically, Akamai has more bandwidth than Jesus.
Really? What does Jesus have?
The best part of those CRT + computer iMacs is how if you want to open it up to fix something, you can melt off an appendage on one of the capacitors.
I don't need any fingers, I have an adorable computer which I have named "bubbles!"
We can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die!
Question is how many bits did he have left over when he put it back together?
You always end up with a few spare widgets, I think they put them in just to confuse you.
You mean like chipping paint on Titanium Powerbooks, "Windtunnel" PowerMac G4's, logic-board failures on iBooks, failing lid-latches on Powerbooks, cracks on the Cube, overheating 12" PowerBooks etc. etc. etc.
Silence! We will not tolerate your insolence. Mods, take care of it.
Heil Steve! Heil Steve! Down with the untercomputers!
On a serious note: yeah, Apple isn't the holy grail, but so what. They are the best at what they do.
u can void imac warranty just by removing some screws?
:-)
then it most user-friendly computer with least user-firendly warranty
Instead of quietly dragging yourself into a corner and drinking away the pictures, you had to share that charming piece of mental imagery with all of us. Now we can't get rid of it either.
Thanks for everything. I'll be sending my therapist's bill shortly.
Daar is nie 'n lepel nie
iPot!? BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH
That is just too funny....wait a minute... just what kind of plants are you growing in there?
Unlike Xerox, GE, IBM, Ford Motors, Halliburton (what the fuck?) and, yes, Apple, Jesus doesn't have a Class A NetBlock. Plus, alongside seemingly half of the Fortune 500, Apple has it's backend provided by Akamai, and frankly, that sort of setup wouldn't ever need resurrection, because it'd never go down.
However, Jesus does have the edge in RFC 2629: Delivery of Packets via Archangel and Shepherd.
Judging from the images, it's apparent that even Mac fanatics like a tight box.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
What part of "a well regulated militia" do you not understand?
They should probably just glue them shut like the iPods.
Mac users are just supposed to dispose of their systems and buy a new one when they stop working.
If you try and fix your Mac, you're stealing from Apple, which makes Steve Jobs cry.
I saw the first couple pages, but the server died before I got to the porn...

I'm surprised he needed a screwdriver. I thought those things would open on the user's sense of elitism alone.
You have a piece of shit Mac just for fun, and 3 PCs that probably do the real work.
3 PCs to play games, you mean. Real work.
"What sort of fool chooses a Focus instead of a Boxster?"
One with a functioning penis and a full head of hair?
Amen to that, brother -- Apple is indeed the best at making Apple computers.
it was about that little anime vixen finally loosing that skimpy little blue suit!!,br>
Si vis pacem, para bellum! For evil to succeed good men need only do nothing!
Porn? It's more like Surgery, I think.
Porn is like when the CD tray "ejects" a CD in your girlfriends face, or you "insert" a 3.5"er firmly into the warm, purring disc drive.
Authority questions you. Return the favor.
