Mar 14 2009MacBook Modded With Screen In Apple Logo
Some guy went and modded a MacBook with a fully functional LCD screen in place of the traditional glowing Apple logo on the back. It's set up as a second monitor too so he can precisely control whatever appears on the thing. But mostly he uses it to display his webcam or iTunes Visualizer. Impressive, guy, but not nearly as impressive as my Apple logo mod, which is -- wait for it, wait for it....a saltwater fish tank! Boom-shacka-lacka!

That's really awesome. Not a fan of macs or anything but that would look really cool.
2. CALM - March 14, 2009 4:16 PM
That's fake.
I MEAN FAKE.
he just removed the matt tewture which is set in between the monitor LCD and logo.
if you look carefully you will see it.

FAKE!!!!
This is a cmplete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was on the outs with a mob kingpin, and went to see him at his little italy cafe. Unbeknownst to Max, the waiter served the boss a cup of draino instead of expresso.

This seems like a lot of work for very little payoff...

@3 i can't agree more. cool mod, bad music. fu.ck emo sh.it
8. Stijn Spijker - March 14, 2009 5:48 PM
2 is correct.
He simply removed the matt white glass Apple Logo, which allows you to see through the hole to your 'real' screen...
It's funny though, not so funny when somebody were to accidentally poke a PENCIL through your the screen of your 1000$+ laptop :p

FAIL!! This post fails on so many levels. Who the hell cares!?
This is just like that time MacGyver modified a rock into an electron microscope and discovered the cure for cancer. He was able to use his modded microscope to beat the multi-billion dollar drug companies at their own game. They, secretly, had no plans to cure cancer, merely come up with treatment for it so that they could continue to bilk stricken patients of billions of dollars.
MacGyver patented his cancer cure and, since his research lab was a sewer beneath the enemy base and his equipment was a rock he found on the ground, sold it for $5.
The behemoth conglomerates lost all their customers and had to declare bankruptcy. MacGyver bought his mom a house with the proceeds.

I don't care much for MACs personally, however I do care about "Mind blowing" penis size. Because my penis is tiny, and we all know a pill can make it bigger.

Geekologie writer - if you're the one who approved the "mind blowing penis" advertisements on the geekologie site, tisk tisk!!
Totally NSFW!!!!
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

he should have gone all out and put a whole screen on the back

Adding fire animation to a crApple logo does not make it any less gay, sorry...fail...at everything.
15. Tulip - March 14, 2009 9:01 PM
REAL!
This is not a photoshop job. You can tell it's real because the shadow's are all aligned.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Mean Girls where Lindsay Lohan was getting teased by her mother. She took an apple from the fruit bowl in the kitchen and heaved it in her daughter's general direction. Nobody was hurt, but the apple landed on the family's DELL laptop and smashed the computer into pieces.

MAC > PC

Just put a mirror in the apple logo and PRESTO! it reflects another screen...
Applefanboys can suck it...
18. Dark Angel - March 15, 2009 3:03 AM
Lame,
wow he could have made a more interesting pattern than that trendy little garbage apple. then played a visualizer. oh and if it was bigger you wouldn't have to squint to see it!
19. The Faker - March 15, 2009 6:52 AM
Totally fake, as can be seen 23 - 24 seconds into the video. You can see the internal screens light shining on the inner edge of the case where the Apple logo USED TO BE.

It's like an Alienware but shit.
21. Tennist0 - March 15, 2009 9:28 AM
rad to the power of sick guys! thats so tubular, i wish i could have one in the back of my desktop monitor... wait... no, then id need a mirror and it'd start getting expensive, oh well, ill just put it in without the mirror
22. sooth - March 15, 2009 10:42 AM
This is shit, its the most retarded place to put an LCD screen, where its physically impossible to see when you're looking at the real screen.
23. naas - March 15, 2009 11:40 AM
I had to double check this post because I missed the music everyone was talking about... Ugh I am sorry I was curious, how aweful
24. Truk - March 15, 2009 12:36 PM
it's cool that he CAN do that, not that he did-
cooler if he made his OWN logo- why light-up the apple logo? more free advertising for mac... like wearing a shirt with the clothing company's name across it..
anyways.. if he simply took out the frosted glass couldn't he have replaced it with clear making it "safe" again?
25. Tricky Ricky - March 15, 2009 1:09 PM
Wait...in that video ...I thought I saw a Windows logo inside the apple?
26. Elmo - March 15, 2009 6:00 PM
That's bitchen! I want it!

he just cut thru the logo to the screen. bad idea sun light will shine thru it and you will have an apple logo on your screen.
