mackeydesign: aleclikeswhales: ifixit tears apart the new MacBook Pro With Retina Display. And confirms my existing Macbook is the last Apple Laptop I’ll buy. Thank You Apple for being a dickface. The only reason my existing one is still running is because I could fix and upgrade it myself.  Apple has alienated yet another life long user. If I was, how many more have been? I’m glad I got the 2011 version and can just upgrade as needed with hard drives or ssd’s and have it last for the next couple years. Building a hackintosh desktop as soon as I can sell my current gaming pc. Won’t be buying from Apple ever again. My thoughts exactly. I love apple’s design and the hardware they put in their products. But I refuse to just end up screwed because they made a standard replaceable part not user-serviceable. Hard drives and ram are removable because they fail, and sometimes not outright. Even SSD’s are susceptible to these failures, the hardware Apple uses is the same in the rest of the industry. So now, if one of your ram modules goes on the frizz, you replace the whole laptop. Genius.

Notes on the new iPad

Despite how amazing, magical, or downright astounding the new iPad is… I’m not going to bother worrying about it - yet. For the 1% of users out there using the device to casually browse the web, they can wait for the internet to adapt. I keep hearing that everyone needs to revise their websites RIGHT NOW. But let me ask you this, when was the last time you struggled to revise a website for those two users that visited in IE5.5? Exactly.

Don’t worry about the iPad and its glorious display. If you’re making a product now, awesome, go for making it as adaptable as you can. In the coming months/years more and more devices and monitors will sport the ‘retina’ displays. It’ll be nice to be ready for them, but I’m not going to stop and change the internet for one device.

design-o-clock:

Many cities are full of vacant storefronts and people who need things. Made by Candy Chang, these stickers are an easy tool to voice what you want, where you want it. Just fill them out and put them on abandoned buildings and beyond. The stickers are custom vinyl and they can be easily removed without damaging property. It’s a fun, low-barrier tool to provide civic input on-site, and the responses reflect the hopes, dreams, and colorful imaginations of different neighborhoods.
