iPad + Macintosh Plus = Crazy Visualizer Helmet 113
An anonymous reader writes "I would like to share with you a helmet I made out of a Macintosh Plus and an iPad. Essentially, I purchased a Macintosh Plus on ebay, removed the inner parts, cut a hole in the bottom of the case, inserted the inner padding of a bicycle helmet (cut to fit), and cut a slot for the iPad to slide in. The iPad's thinness allows for plenty of room for the user's head and the inner helmet keeps the Macintosh situated properly. What started as a project for my sculpture class has now become a part of my good friend Kid Chameleon's DJ set and a way for us to showcase our visuals in a new way during live performances."

I think those of us who once identified as "apple geeks" have all moved on or are very close to moving on. It seems Apple doesn't care, they've got a much larger (and more annoying) market now. Of course, this could well blow up in their faces -- anything that popular will eventually be something no-one will want to be seen with, and when the day comes apple may regret that they spent the last few years alienating the people who were once apple geeks. And the funny thing is, for many of us OS X was the "gateway *nix". :-P
But yeah, I bought my first Mac in '87 and my last in '09. Can't imagine I'm the only one.

How many times have you appeared in a slashdot topic? Show us your unique achievements you magnificent, undiscovered genius.
I've noticed that cynical disposition and the constant need to shit on anything that remotely looks like fun is inversely proportional to one's lack of accomplishments. Reminds me of idiots who say "Facebook? Any kid with knowledge of PHP could have done that. It was all luck." Instead, they sit in dark rooms and jerk it to manga all their lives and tear down those who have actually applied themselves and made stuff happen, no matter how trivial.
I'm sorry that a guy who has created something in a true geek spirit is unworthy of your attention, amidst the ever-important stream of hard hitting news found on /.
Haters gonna hate.
