Flickr Find Friday: Tech Support

February 17, 2012

Comments Off

I can easily say I’ve never heard of anyone using an iBook to prop up a couch. With all the accidentally cracked and dropped Apple laptops I see on a weekly basis, this is nothing I would ever do. However, I do thank you Mr. Keith Seekwhence for sharing your oh so cleverly titled pic with us.

Flickr Find Friday: Apple Cheese Graters

February 3, 2012

Here’s the bottom feet of two Power Mac G5s. Apple has had essentially the same look and feel on their tower since 2003. If you ask me these machines are still incredibly beautiful. I, however, wouldn’t mind seeing the smaller, less heavy form factor of the Mac Pro (fingers crossed). Thank you Grant Hutchinson for uploading this amazing shot to our Macgasm Flickr Group!

Look at her in her little car already adorned with an Apple sticker! To top things off she’s got daddy’s old iPhone 3G that she loves to pretend to talk on. Say it with me, “Ahhhhhhhhh.” Charles Edwards, thanks so much for uploading your adorable pic to our Macgasm Flickr Group. Now excuse me while I go bug the husband about having more kids.

Flickr Find Friday: Snowgasm

Wow. What an amazing view our dear Joshua Schnell has. I see he took a moment out from organizing our article task list to snap this shot. As someone that lives where it doesn’t snow, I’m really jealous of this.

Flickr Find Friday: Reflective Apple

January 13, 2012

8 Comments

As much as I loved this shot for its beauty, I was even more intrigued as I tried to figure out what Apple product this was. I started by trying to go through my mental catalog of products and what might have a reflective or shiny black Apple. While most of the newer iMacs have the shiny black Apple logo, this one appears to be embedded in plastic. I’m going to go with a flat panel iMac. What do you think? I know many of your are much better at this game than I am so leave your guesses in the comments.

Thank Thomas Coulton for uploading this sexy shot to our Macgasm Flickr Group!

Apple Fun Stuff: Add some vinyl to your Mac

January 11, 2012

1 Comment

Changing up this post this week from “odd” stuff to “fun” stuff. There isn’t an easier, less expensive way to give your Apple gear some personality. In some cases it’s only a few dollars to spice up your MacBook Pro. For instance, the retro 8bit Apple logo is only $4! For the price of a fancy coffee you can make your Mac as cool or as geeky as you are. However you roll, I’ve got a solution.

Flickr Find Friday: The sexiest RAID ever

January 6, 2012

While the PC IT types might not care if their server gear is sexy, I do. We still have one of these lovely Apple branded RAIDs alive and in use at one of our clients. It’s a beauty and fits in nicely with a rack of Xserves. Thanks Ken for posting this in our Macgasm Flickr Group.

Apple Odd Stuff: Steve Jobs Action Figure

January 5, 2012

 I’m sorry but this deserves an entire post all to itself. I’ve covered Steve Jobs dolls before, but this is the mother of all Steve Jobs dolls. I first became aware of this through Stephen Hackett from his 512 Pixels post. It linked to an article by The Verge that had a few pics that showed quite a bit of detail on this doll. I looked at the two pics and agreed that the realness was a bit startling, except for the tiny Mac, but it appears that the Mac’s not included.
