MacBook Skull


MacBook Skull

I was doing some writing on my laptop at the coffee house last night and I looked around and realized that everyone there had a mac laptop that they were using. There was a time when Apple Computers was the underdog, and it meant something to have and use one. I think those times are gone. Apple has shifted their focus away from computer innovation and education and instead had decided to focus on what else?!...Movies and music. Don't get me wrong, I have an iPod and loved it when iTunes first came out but I feel that there is too much emphasis on using consumer electronics for entertainment purposes, when they can be used for so many more creative purposes.

So with that being said, I thought I'd mark my MacBook Pro with a symbol that represents its death: the skull. Below are a couple images of how I decided to alter my laptop so the next time I'm at the coffee shop with 20 other Macs, mine will stand out...and who knows, maybe it will will generate an actual face-to-face conversation. Remember what talking to actual live people was like?
