MacBook Modded With Second Monitor Inside Logo

Posted by kdawson on from the heart-on-your-sleeve dept.

An anonymous reader from the Macmod forum wrote in with this appealing hack: "This is one of the coolest mods I've seen all year. Mac Moder EdsJunk submitted this mod to our forums late Thursday night. By cracking open a MacBook he was able to put a second monitor inside of the screen. The end result is sweet. The second monitor can make the Apple logo have any kind of background, like the clown fish, or the flurry screen saver."

      Hello! So, this is my first post on Slashdot (I love the name! It's so clever. When I tried to tell somebody the address, h - t - t - p, colon, slash, slash, slashdot dot org they got soooo confused! I laughed at the sheer cleverness of the founders!)

      Anyway, I'm just glad to finally be posting here on ole Slashdot. It's a pretty neat website, and looks so modern and clean! I wish I knew how to design websites as well as this one, I'd be a hit at the next office party after I redesign our internal bbs. It'll be super :)

      So, how's everybody doing this morning:) I'm great! Hope to hear back from you guys soon! Until then, ~Jason.

      There should be a moderation for "+1, Use of Meme" - I think that applies much better than "Funny" in this case... Then there could also be a matching "-1, Use of Meme"...

    A life-size, fully operational Death Star. This is installing a very small monitor into a tight place. Kind of neat, but utterly useless.

    Pha, Saddam Hussain did even better than that, he made weapons of ms destruction that were totally invisible.

    Even so, as if they'd do anything, his weapons only lasted for a ms.

    Do not underestimate the power of the reverse side of the laptop screen.

    Laptop LCD's are remarkably easy to open up and work with. You just need the right kind of screwdriver ^W hammer.
