Mac Pro Trash Icon
- jason_slack 13y agoNice!!
- jason_slack 13y agoWhy did this get down voted. It really is nice. It reminds me of my OS 9 days when it became popular to use icon sets to replace the stock icons.
- Dirlewanger 13y agoOne of the best things about corporations and the product development cycle: the general public's reactions that not even a company like Apple could predict, and to what length they will go to make sure you don't forget that unintended perception. Great work.
- kerbs 13y agoFortunate for Apple, the iPad debacle was short lived. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjU0K8QPhs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjU0K8QPhs

- be5invis 13y agoGreat work. ps. The hardware structure design of the NMP is great, but WHY THE HELL apple make it a cylender? And WHY it is black and glossy, differ from any other Apple hardware.
- sliverstorm 13y agoA cylinder is a very silly shape for a computer IMO but that's just the sort of thing Apple does. They might even have brainstorming sessions that go, "Ok what would our competitors *NEVER* do. Yes Dave?" "Make a cylindrical computer!" "Brilliant!"
- malandrew 13y agoI'm waiting until the next MacPro looks like the monolith from 2001 A Space Odyssey. The entire grey black slab could slowly pulse a über faint glow like the power light on late model PowerBooks. The idea would be to eliminate all indicator lights and make the entire monolith surface into the indicator that it's on and replace brightness with area. I present to you, your next MacPro: http://atypicalsnowman.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/2001_monolith.jpg http://atypicalsnowman.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/2001_mono...
- ryanmcbride 13y agoTo make it stand out. That's pretty much it. We wouldn't be talking about it right now if it wasn't some weird black cylinder. Say what you want about Apple, but they definitely know how to market.
- evanspa 13y agoFor what it's worth, on the Mac Pro product page, there's a snippet about a "Unified thermal core" with a graphic showing a birds-eye view of the machine that would lead me to believe the cylindrical design has an actual purpose to it.
- be5invis 13y agoThe thermal design is pretty straightforward. It was used in some supercomputers, as I know. But, why the "chassis" is a cylinder? They can use the same shape as the G4 cube, seriously.
- jheriko 13y agobeautiful... almost makes me want to buy a mac pro to use as an actual trash can. :) except i'm not wealthy enough to ever consider buying one anyway... XD
- nmc 13y agoNice, reminds me of this funny Mac Pro parody [1]. [1] [video] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wShNx6cdk_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wShNx6cdk_8
- neovive 13y agoI think it won't be long before someone starts selling a real Mac Pro trash can for your office.
- girvo 13y agoTeehee, cute! I still really like the Mac Pro's new design myself, but this is pretty funny :)
