This is a little graphic charting the progress in music storage. It’s part of a larger graphic which also includes the evolutions of photo and data storage. Click THIS BIG-ASS LINK RIGHT HERE to see the whole thing. But warning: prepare to be wowed. Or at least moderately impressed with how far we’ve come. Now let’s put a man on the moon ! Or a cat. Oh. My. God — SPACE FURBABIES — WANT!! Man, We’ve Come a Long Way From Floppies [gizmodo]

This is a desk with a water- cooled computer built right in to its very soul. And….is that an ashtray and cigarettes? VOIDED WARRANTY IS VOIDED . It’s all built from the ground up: desk and computer, custom designed to fit the maker’s needs. Even the reservoir was designed specifically to fit this desk. And now that it’s finished? He needs to start making them for everyone else! I kind of like how the motherboard is all open access so my cats can jump in there and lay on top of it. Because that’s 100& exactly what they’d do. Shut up I know my symbols, okay~ Hit the jump for a closeup of the computer part.

So apparently smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products (no word on the ganj ) may void your Mac warranty. Plus kill you slow. Hey, that’s booze’s job! Consumer advocate blog The Consumerist reports two examples of Apple stores refusing to honour the warranty on a Mac because of contamination from cigarette smoke. It seems the faults could be attributed to exposure to smoke and accumulated tar, although there is no specific mention of cigarette smoke in the AppleCare warranty contract. When pushed for clarification, Apple insisted that nicotine is on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s list of hazardous substances and Apple would not require an employee to repair anything deemed hazardous to their health. Because I have a degree in investigative journalism am a ninja I called Apple this morning to clarify. Yeah, and I had them patch me in to Steve Jobs’ iPhone, where I asked the really hard hitting questions, “But what about pole ? Hello? HELLO? STEVE?” Should smoking void your warranty? [digihub] Thanks to b00geyman, who only smokes cheeba, it helps him with his brain, he might be a little dusted but he’s not insane.

This is a recreation of Da Vinci’s ‘ Mona Lisa ‘ made entirely out of motherboard parts (plus a frame). It sits in the ASUS headquarters in Peitou, Taiwan and is almost half as good looking as the motherboard ‘ Starry Night ‘ I made. Which I just so happen to be selling for $10 million. If you’re interested shoot me an email and I’ll start smashing every desktop in this computer lab ship it out as soon as the check clears. Two closeups after the jump.
