Cool story bro. Jealous much? It's called a mac book pro bro. Everybody has them here on campus. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only either with a carbon roadie; heck, are you going to accuse the owners of all the bikes whose pictures are here in this pr0n thread of showing off because they took a picture of a sweet ride?
I nearly fell for it to to be honest; it's called having evidence to back up your claims.
And oh yeah there's a lot more work available here in California then Vermont bro, which means our standards of living are higher here as well, do you know what imma sayin? Deal with it. P.S. I'm typing this on a white LED back lit quiet keyboard, just thought you would like to know.
Oh yeah, here's a speedtest of the internet connection I'm using to post this post from:
How you like 'em APPLES huh son?? Did I just tie your undies all up in a knot?
Oh I'm sorry, I can't help it according to you; impressive so you say. Am I right or am I right?
What's that we have here?^^^^^^ That's right I am.

How do I know this? A high school volunteered at had some roudy kids who smashed the screens with the aluminium keyboards... the glass overlay breaks like a windshield, the glass stays in place even when broken due to film on the innerside.
Because you're not the one who spent $30+ on vinyl decals direct from them....

Yeah, not a lotta radiation concerns from LCD displays. Bashing older iMac LCDs can release some harmful gasses however if the CCFL tubes are also broken.

Oh yeah forgot to mention that the glass facade on imacs are supposed to protect the LCD in case of the glass breaking. As the imacs I mentioned earlier did not have their LCD screens smashed thanks to the glass that absorbed the impacts.

LCDs are only diodes.... no tubes. You're talking about CRT

The CCFL tubes are somewhat fragile. Just the right impact with the corner of a keyboard could crack one open.

Bright color LCD displays for computers depend on a backlight. The two most common are CCFL (basically little fluorescent light tubes) and LED. iMacs have been all LED for what maybe a year now.

Pretty wild non-user-serviceable stuff there alright. I'm guessing these are shots from the NAHBS???
How do people say that anyways? I'm just gonna start saying "the knob show", which is an improvement from what I used to call it, the ****** show, just because I cold never remember the initials.

Check the sweet rotor bash guards on the Geekhouse polo bike: (seems like a minor redesign would still allow wheel to be removed without prior bash guard removal, though)

This bike looks fun. Haro bend in the top tube. Fisher / KHS bend in the seattube and check out that Mondo-Gusset on the downtube! Wonder if the downtube itself goes all the way to the headtube? Could be some drillium on those brake levers, nice!

Fine work coming out of that show in Austin.
Some understated, some overstated. Diversionary tactics with one-piece-cranksets?
