Steve Jobs Is Back, And He Is Not Alone

Zeon Santos — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 07:53:34 +0000

By now you’ve discovered that the man in the picture is not Steve Jobs, but rather a mutton chopped Asian man impersonating the tech superstar.

However, that thing standing next to him has to be a cyborg, a real life cybernetic organism, although I’m pretty sure it must be quite underpowered since it’s been constructed out of Mac parts.

In true Macborg fashion it won’t be compatible with 80% of the world, it will be impossible to fix once broken, and don’t even think about upgrading- if you want more memory you’re just going to have to break down and buy a new one every four or five years.

But it sure is shiny, and clean looking, with lots of white and silver bits and a fruit shaped logo, that counts for something, right?

YouTube user Frensleven took an old iMac G4 and turned it into a helmet resembling a Cylon head. Presumably the implication is that Steve Jobs wishes to exterminate the human race.

Mac Dock Icon Spelling

Mike Giepert noticed that Mac dock icons are often letters, and you can line them up to spell words. So he posted one and asked his readers to send in others. There are 14 screenshots of various words posted so far. I don’t have a lot of programs on my dock right now, but I will look through my applications to see what I can “line up” when I get some free time. Like that will ever happen. Link (via Buzzfeed)
