Inconsiderate iMac disposal
Apparently these poor, defenseless iMacs were just chucked into a snowy ditch when they had outlived their usefulness. That's a horrible end to an otherwise colorful life. Shame on whoever did this, and may you forever be cursed with dropped calls and Safari crashes. [Photo: Jason Matthews]
Now this is a sexy Mac desk
That's one fantastic setup. I especially like the dual vertical monitors for social media and communications programs, though they would probably keep me from getting any work done during the day. [Photo credit: Saebaryo]
Remember back when a PowerBook could burn your house down?
Ah, the good old days. Nothing like a top-of-the-line notebook charger that may or may not be plotting to start your house on fire with you inside. [Photo credit: Dom]

The coolest jigsaw puzzle ever
Putting together a massive puzzle using multiple iPads looks like it would be a ton of fun... now what bank will let me take a loan out for it? [Photo credit: Nate Bolt]

Overly attached iPod
I understand how you feel, iPod, but I think I'd prefer to just be friends for now. I hope you understand. [Photo credit: Jeff]
Flickr struggles to capture the selfie generation
Flickr's latest app is its best yet, but even that might not be enough to save it. I posted my first-ever selfie on Flickr on July 11, 2004. Taken with the rear camera of a Sony Ericsson T616, the photo was horrendously grainy at a resolution of 288 x 352. But at the time, taking a picture with my phone and uploading it to a website (via MMS, no less) was a strange and wonderful thing. I would soon grow to use Flickr for photos taken with a regular camera as well, but it was that initial brush with mobile technology that drew me into its fold.
The Mac Mega
"I love my Mac mini, but it just isn't big enough" said nobody, ever. Still, this hilarious stackable Mac concept shows how crazy Apple could get if the company really wanted to. [Image credit: Jay Robinson]
The 100% organic iPod
We've all heard the stories about Apple going green, but this is taking things a little bit too far. [Photo credit: absoluv]
I would absolutely devour this Mac mini
A delicious Apple pie made to look like a Mac mini is a culinary geek's dream come true. Add to that the fact that the lattice work on the Apple logo was done with a laser cutter, and it's something beyond fantastic. [Photo credit: Lenore Edman]
Well that's just about the most horrifying iPod I've ever seen
This frightening photo was created as part of a weekly photography challenge. The theme was "Metaphors," and this one is "iPod Killer," though it looks more like a killer iPod. [Photo credit: Richard West]
Kids would be much simpler if they had a built-in scroll wheel
This is pretty adorable, though I wonder if he also has a "quiet" switch... [Photo credit: Upsilon Andromedae]
The death of an iPod
Apple's gadgets even die in the most adorable ways. Let's have a moment of silence for this fallen musical soldier. [Photo credit: Enrico Palombaro]
The sexiest Mac desk you'll ever see... from 1988
Everyone takes photos of their Mac desks these days, but rarely do we get a glimpse at setups from yesteryear. Ned Raggett was ahead of the game in 1988, snapping a photo of his computer desk way before it was the cool thing to do. His describes the setup as follows: "Let's see, dot-matrix printer on the left, my Mac 512K enhanced with the Kensington add-ons here and there (yes, including the little mouse pocket), extra disk drive on the right along with the disk holder itself, mouse pad...well well well. " In 1988, this was a respectable rig, and that rather ornate table is the perfect place for it all to sit. Great stuff. [Photo credit: Ned Raggett]
Mac on iPhone would be a lot of fun
It's a shame this doesn't actually exist, because I bet a lot of people would love to mess around with an emulated version of classic Mac software. Imagine "booting up" touchscreen versions of Artillery or 3D Checkers. It would a nostalgia trip worth at least a few bucks, right? [Photo credit: Rob Marquardt]
The Mac hole

Flickr wants to become your new Instagram with its latest app update
Today Yahoo is rolling our Flickr "3.0," a completely redesigned approach to its photo-sharing apps on Android and iOS. In addition to offering improved sharing through Dropbox and Google+, Flickr on mobile now features Instagram-like filters and in-depth editing tools. We especially like the new option to view each photo's metadata, including which camera an image was shot with, aperture setting and more.
The transparent Mac trick

Think Different. Or Not.
Though this image is more satirical then complimentary, you gotta love those glowing Apple logos on the back of every Mac. I have to admit, though, that I would love to see a similar photo taken in the dark.
