iMac desktop background matches the internals of your iMac

hackthismac.com — What I did to make this was remove the bezel, remove the display panel, put the bezel back on and take several photos. I picked the best one, cropped it to just inside the bezel and resized it to the iMac ’s native resolution of 1920×1200. It should line up pretty close with the actual internals of the machine.

  • Mikecol, on 10/12/2007, -44/+8Cool idea... too bad it's ugly.
    • CheckMarshall, on 10/12/2007, -10/+84For the people who wonder why people are digging it even after the server is down.

      I thought digg.com was a social 'bookmarking' site. So that you can digg it and come back to it when you have a chance. I dugg it after it was down, I was intrigued.... I could come back later to see if it was working.

      For those with such negative comments.... chill out. I don't come to your dugg stories and scoff at your 'Mint condition xmen comic book collection pics!!!!!'. I look, take into consideration, and move on with my own thoughts. If I don't digg it, I move on to a story I do.
    • Applemacmad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Has anyone managed to get it?
      Could they post is to Flikr or something?
    • j0ew00ds, on 10/12/2007, -22/+12Well said. But, Mister Better-Digger-Than-You, what does your comment have to do with the one you replied to?
    • dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10"What is Digg?
      Digg is a user driven social content website" [ http://www.digg.com/about/ ]

      Anyway, does anyone have a mirror of it? Duggmirror/Coral and Google catce all missed it.. The G5 version is horribly compressed

    • moofer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19isn't doing a x-ray type image of laptop innards a little pointless? The iMac works, because the guts are really behind the screen. In a laptop, the only time this works is when the screen is closed, and looking at the screen when the laptop is closed doesn't work to well. If they wanted to more accurately model my laptop experience (as to what was on the other side of the screen) they should ghost an image of my wife yelling at me for being on the computer too long.
    • alexiscaptive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2"now i need to justify my digg."
      Did u guys really need to be praised all the time???
    • cptn_cardboard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Looking at the xray of the laptop is really interesting. Mostly because in size porportion the CD drive is freaking huge. Its safe to say that the cd drive will soon be a thing of the past...
  • VtmnR, on 10/12/2007, -19/+4The inner view of DEMONS! o.O;;
  • firepowered, on 10/12/2007, -44/+9For people who dont get enough of Apple.
    • sv650touring, on 10/12/2007, -3/+46Seriously, what is with all the ***** "Oh great, more Apple. Just what we need for the fanboys." comments?

      This is a cool IDEA no matter what. If it was a picture of the innards of a Dell 1704FP LCD monitor, I would have emailed it to 20 people at work already.

      Mindless Apple bashing is EVEN MORE PATHETIC than mindless fanboyism. The bashers are always terribly concerned with convincing everyone just how disinterested they are in Apple - which they do by studying every move Apple makes so they can comment on it.

      I get irritated too when a kool-aid drinking numbnuts Apple fanboy makes some ignorant anti-Windows remark, but they don't seem to have the same hatred in their comments that most Apple bashers do.

  • dmolavi, on 10/12/2007, -69/+638 diggs and down already.

    weak, no digg.
    • johnhummel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28Not everyone can afford akami servers.

      Weak - thumb down.
    • icematrix, on 10/12/2007, -18/+16If you don't have a server capable of more than 30 hits, you shouldn't post on digg, period. In your case, you should have used flickr or something like it.
    • chiklit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8It's not his site though.
    • fyre2012, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3130 Diggs does NOT equal 30 hits to the webserver!
  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3not even a Google Cache :-(
  • thecheat1, on 10/12/2007, -20/+7Not even worth posting if your server can't even handle a few hits :-
  • thekidder, on 10/12/2007, -29/+11How is this still getting dugg when the site is dead?
    • Anisty, on 10/12/2007, -45/+14because not only does it have iMac once in the title, it has it TWICE! instant apple fanboy flocking commences :/
    • greymarketbrain, on 10/12/2007, -41/+5@thekidder
      because of the mac fanboys
    • therealduckie, on 10/12/2007, -12/+38I love how everyone thinks that by owning a Mac that, by default, you're automatically a 'fanboy'.

      Although, it is interesting how there are no Microsoft Fanboys.
    • lgc90, on 10/12/2007, -6/+471. Because it's a really cool idea.

      2. Because if I digg it, it will conveniently be saved in my profile for me to check back on later when the site is back up.
    • shm1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Coz some people use their profiles as bookmarks for later.
    • xioner, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Because a lot of us will Digg something that looks interesting so we can look at it again later. Its a little concept called "social bookmarking."
    • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -15/+11"Although, it is interesting how there are no Microsoft Fanboys."

      Are you high?
    • tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4I guess I could be described as an Apple fanboy AND a Microsoft fanboy. But neither is blind loyalty, plenty of stuff both companies do annoys me and I say so. I like OSX more than Windows, but love much of the other stuff MS does.

      I like both at the same time. That's sure to confuse a lot of people here.
    • dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Yeah, I don't own a mac for the security features, virus free/spyware free enviroment, more useful feature set for my needs, cross compatibility with emulated XP, or anything like that. I bought it so I could be a fanboy.

      Also, there's no such thing as MS Fanboys... Just developers, developers, developers, developers, DEVELOPERS!!!!
    • moofer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4""Although, it is interesting how there are no Microsoft Fanboys."
      Are you high?"

      M$ has fanboys. They have to. They probably all congregate at msrumors.com and *****.com...
    • DoctorLex, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Of course there are MS fanboys too, but if one would normalize the amounts of Mac vs. MS fanboys with the respective market shares, the amount of MS fanboys would probably be negligible.
  • shyam131, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17What we need is a digg ratio that is the number of clicks on the story to the number of actual diggs.
    • matija, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2no good
    • uownedge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That would be kind of cool in some ways...I was actually just thinking the other day that a "statics" page would be nice. One for general statistics, such as that, and also a personal stats that can show things like how many stories you've dugg in a year/month/week/etc, how many +/- comment markings you've recieved, and how many you've given out, etc.

      I think the big problem with something like that is though, you'll end up with even more people who don't bother to read the comments complaining about a story getting dugg when the site is down, as they don't understand what "social bookmarking" is (I hate that term, by the way).
    • pixelperfect, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Google already does this when you are signed in with a Google account..
      Check the actual url google is taking you to, it is something like this:
      http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com
      They redirect you right away (after recording the url, rank).
      They know every url you have clicked on..and the rank that it was in the list.. so they can make it #1 rank in the future..
  • adragontattoo, on 10/12/2007, -23/+1must digg site jsut due to mentioning apple!!

    /err wait Im not a fanboy and dont even own a mac.

  • adragontattoo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Thanks Johnny, care to Cache the site while you are at it?
  • rodrigo74, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13At least the G5 version is still reachable:

    • Anisty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5image quality seems kinda poor on that :/ pity it's a cool idea
  • DarkDays, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Still curious...
  • ductions, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1still being dugg although no one has seen it
    • mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15read the above comments you silly twit, people are digging it so they can bookmark it for later.

      There seems to be more "I hate mac fanboys" fanboys than mac fanboys


      I had to proof read that about 10 times, and it still hurts my brain
    • ductions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My mistake there. I do that myself too.
      I'm actually a keen mac user.
  • stone885, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3how about a windows version.

  • negativeview, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2This story perfectly illustrates something that has grown to be a pet peeve of mine: posting a link to duggmirror.

    If you're posting a link to duggmirror, you're doing so under the assumption that you're telling people something they don't know. So how about linking to the full URL.

    Or... you're just posting because linking to duggmirror for some reason gives you instant karma.

    Filthy thumbs-up-whores.

    This story just goes further to illustrate that the people doing so don't even check to see if it works before they post it, in a race to be the first to post a (in this case) non-functioning link to a non-functioning website. Whores.
    • tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12You know that a (working) link to duggmirror.com will check the referrer and send you to the right page automatically? You don't need to link the full URL, just the duggmirror homepage will do.

      But yeah, it would be nice if people a) checked duggmirror actually cached it first, b) checked that 10 other people hadn't already posted it.
    • dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You don't need to link full to the duggmirror link. Normally (when they get to cache it), clicking on the duggmirror link from a story will have DM pull up the correct story. Try using DM sometime so you'd know that it works just fine by clicking the shorter link.

      Although they do look stupid by not checking DM first on their own.

      EDIT: tizz beat me by seconds...
    • negativeview, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@tizz66

      I didn't know the first part, thanks. My other points still stand, though. Three links to duggmirror on a story that didn't get cached when there aren't all that many comments in the first place is just silly.

      @dvddesign

      I do use duggmirror, but usually without prompting and by going up to my address bar and changing digg to duggmirror manually. I can't remember the last time I clicked a link.

  • sparkrainfir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8perhaps digg needs to add a "save for later" feature.

    i know many times i'll digg something (mainly videos) that i can't see at work then go home and view my profile to see them.

    if they aren't diggworthy, i'll simplly 'undigg' them.

  • SirBotchness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So basically this is an image of the hardware in a computer, then you throw the default desktop on top of that. It is a cool idea, but not something i would ever have as my desktop.
  • danjohadley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If i had a mac this would be so much cooler
  • rheaume, on 10/12/2007, -13/+8This one still works and its way more accurate

  • MacPPC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Based on his idea I got the internal of the MBP from the OWC.com site and made myself a slightly more realistic (machine wise) version. Just overlay some of the xray pic for the HD and the Super drive and you got a winner.
  • Drakeguild, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Nice idea...horrible execution.

  • gavers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is my server. The problem is not how many hits, it's that it keeps having kernel panics, due to some hardware failure. I'll replace the machine just as soon as I can.

    Great idea though.
    • oneMadRssn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i agree. apple sort of lost the 'really nice inside and out' thing with the intel switch. the new imac does not look cool inside.

      then again i bet 99% of imac owners will never open their imac up like that.
  • Zafwon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I did a quick mash-up and posted on my blog and Flickr. Looks like all the parts match up...
