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."

The problem is that 95% of /. users won't be able to tell the difference anyway. And just like real porn... lusting over a mac will leave you alone and feeling ashamed afterward.

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.

Forget diagnostics...Apple to the Rescue! by flaneur · 2004-09-22 18:50 · Score: 5, Funny

LED diagnostics? That's way too complicated...

I think THIS Apple tech note is much more helpful.

Thanks for the tip!

[Apple's] got more bandwidth than Jesus.

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.

I'm surprised he needed a screwdriver. I thought those things would open on the user's sense of elitism alone.

On a serious note: yeah, Apple isn't the holy grail, but so what. They are the best at what they do.
Amen to that, brother -- Apple is indeed the best at making Apple computers.
