- XorSystem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49Seriously, clever as hell...
it's kinda spooky... almost like the computer afterlife... - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+50"Why not blame the Fat white chick that is taking a nap?"
because his sandwich wasn't what was missing. - wphj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35haha, that's great.
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25dude, this is a cool little story but at least make the app available for download. :)
- thejadedmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I don't see why it wouldn't be.
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24If people seriously see that as racist, its because they've been conditioned by society to see any accusation on a black man as racist. "Accusing" a white guy would have been a joke, but when you "accuse" a black guy, oh no racial stereotyping! People are too sensitive, and end up sounding racist themselves.

- thomashallock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23He gives simple instructions on how to set up automator to do this:

"OK, for all of those who want to use this little app, it's SUPER easy, it's just an automator workflow saved as an application. Here's how to make it:
1. Download the "Take Picture" Automator action http://automator.us/downloads.html#1026
2. Set up posting by email in flickr
3. Set up your workflow:

That's about all you need to do something like this..." - MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Oh shut up you people complaining about racist comments. There was like 3 people in the pictures, and he just happened to pick the black guy to make the joke accusation about. Doesn't mean he picked him BECAUSE his is black.
Now if there had been a lot more, and he called the guy a "theaving *****" or the like, I would think differently.
Some times the fear of racism goes a little to far, so far that it is sickening. People are even afraind to call a black person black.
And don't even think of calling me a racist. I live in a household of 3 different races, and have friends who are white, black, asian, and middle eastern (not the same person :-P).
So chill, people. - jole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Don't see why not, it's his (or her) computer.
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23hilarious. so, if he accused a white person all would be well with the world? it's people wound up this tight that are truly prejudice.
it never even occurred to me that was a "racist" comment. give me a break. - klepto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Where are the pictures? They seem gone now.
- zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19I wonder who owns the copyright to those photos? The person who opened the lid? The computer? The guy whose comptuer it was, even though he was never there?
- omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23It was a joke. I know nobody actually stole my RAM. Sorry it got blown out of proportion...
- omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Thank you.
- bawz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I must have missed where he said he thought the guy did it because he's black. Direct quote: "That guy in the back must be the one who stole my goddamn RAM. PHOTO EVIDENCE!!!! You can see another sick MacBook behind Mr. Smooth there."
Quick to recklessly accuse someone? Yes.
Racist? No. - TheDrunkMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Apparently all of the pictures except the one of the App are gone now. I looked at the pictures then closed it and read some of the comments. When I went to go look at the pictures again there was only the one picture there.
Duggmirror didn't get the pictures. - ThePottsDome, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Wow I noticed they ripped off some ram outta your mac. Bummer.
BTW, nice litle app ! Great Flickr set too. - omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Thanks, I thought it would be a fun little photo-study. I made the app using Automator, and it gets triggered by a little daemon that knows when the MacBook gets woken up from sleep.
If they can't find the RAM, they'll replace it, so all is well... - StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Um. Where did the photos go?
- kevincw01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12i dont see any pictures. i guess that moron "theheadguy" made him feel guilty and he deleted them?
- konspence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11People always discriminate against racists.
- omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13OK, for all of those who want to use this little app, it's SUPER easy, it's just an automator workflow saved as an application. Here's how to make it:

That's about all you need to do something like this... - aerophe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Seriously, somebody get these pictures back up.
- shaun3000, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Er, I thought it was because he looked rather shady... But no, it must have been because he's BLACK! *rolls eyes*
- Aurarch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8did anyone, by any chance, save the pics before they were removed?
- wingnut21, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Has someone made a version that runs completely invisible in the background? Also, how did his notebook have internet access at the repair facility?
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9i'm not really sure what you're rambling about but i found it humorous.

"and thanks to the camera man this people will be lead to a secluded room, questioned, strip searched, executed, raped and finally fired. nice work, mr. "i've got a secret program that takes pictures of people doing diagnostic testing" guy. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Buried for retardedness: first posting on Digg and then pulling down the content when the article become popular.
- JonBuddy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Buried. The pictures have been removed.
- jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I thought of doing this to a place like newegg. Before I went to bed for some reason thats what i was thinking about. " I wonder what newegg factory looks like" lol
- muffins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8:| pics?
- omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12It was a joke, not an accusation. I know nobody actually stole my RAM, and I'm sorry if I offended you.
- Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He posted the apps on the bottom of the comments page here.
- stevejobs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I'm sick of PC people.
- kankerfist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8theheadguy, are you the guy outside my liquor store who talks real fast to the trash can?
- tagliare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The faces are blacked out, I don't see why not. It's like when they pixelize peoples faces on TV., same principal.
- blueigloo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I dont see any pics...
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@omega
you're going out of your way to explain yourself. what you've done is fine, you're never going to please everyone. you've went from racist to the guy that exposed area 51. don't sweat it.
appreciate your concerned nature though. - omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Saying that my RAM was stolen was a joke, I know that it's obviously absurd. Sorry if you got offended.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Pretty interesting photos, especially the last two. Maybe you could have some fun with this with airport security :P
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8the guy's nick should be: theheadcaseguy.
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"I assume you work there if you took these, and you should already know this by now."
Bad assumption. RTFA and take some chill pills. - omegastation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The point wasn't to catch the repair guys in action. I forgot about the program because it just shows up whenever the computer wakes up and then goes away. I had honestly forgotten about it. If there is some problem with the photos I have no qualms about deleting them forever.
- v0lrath, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8What are you talking about?
- v0lrath, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8The grammar in your last sentence and why they would be fired for being in a picture.
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11CrazyPolak = ban.
- kevincw01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4...in extremely low res w/ sloppy black circles and stitched together...buried.
- pinky24, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5but not when it first went on the internet,
if he can write an app that blackens out faces in a pic before they go on flikr, that is one amazing person -
