Mac mini in a Volkswagen

Posted by timothy on from the ultraslick dept.

pyramis writes "Matt Turner has installed a Mac mini into his Volkswagen as an integrated audio/video system. He's distributed the I/O ports around the cab for convenient access and installed a remote power button right into the dashboard. Cool pics of all of this, plus a detailed article on that cool power button."

    I predict the hardware might be buggy.

    I predict in 20 years, half the articles on slashdot will be cool cyborg mods (to the human body).

    "I slipped the mini under my frontal lobe, so that latencey to the computational region of my brain is minimized, it is powered on my body heat, and the coolest thing, is that I have an IO port on my forehead so that I don't have to deal with the irritation of reaching around to the back of my head to plug in my peripherals."

    is the back of a Volkswagen still an uncomfortable place?

    Before the hack, it was mediocre. Now it's multimediocre...

    Matt Turner may have turned his Mac mini into a Volkswagen, but we've turned his Web site into a Yugo.

    Oh, well, at least there's MirrorDot.

    Yeah, that really drives me crazy. I mean, I don't mean to steer the conversation in any way or another, but those jokes just don't turn my crank. They signal to me, rather, that Slashdotters prefer automatic over manual posting. The way this place is coasting along in neutral mediocrity, well, it makes me sad. We should change gears around here, and make an agreement to speed up the humor and put the brakes on predictable comments.
