- dknighton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A $20,000 laser etcher, a 2-3k computer, all to take a picture of the end result sitting atop a dirty, plastic milk crate?

- pstreck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Prety cool, but I would of laser etched a liger: Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. - Cheers
- ncraig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i wish he would etch my powerbook
- leitjaxon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Mars Volta!!!
- dhughes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 I wonder how much heat transfered to the other side.
- slackerhobo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I had a friend do something simmilar ... but he was going into a modelmaking career track and was able to use the schools equipment because he used it for a final project
Always amazing when people can make art like that - unclejesse0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool but a weird choice of animals.
- aznboi04k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i want one of their laser etcher!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that looks great
- nadnerb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0trueimage - remember, the colours are inverted in the last photo. the eyes have a white reflection just above and to the right of the pupil. the reflection turns black when inverted and thus now looks like the eyes are looking to the top right. no problem, anytime.

much better designs, imo - UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0llama, DUH!
or Joe Camel - Danny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Should have put a Liger on there, it's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
- borderpatrol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@Danny
Lol! - seriypshick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks nice.
Although I wish they'd use some different animal. For example: Llama. - RevFry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd be a bit nervous until I fired it up again. But this from a guy whose wife looked shocked when he put stickers on his SON's laptop. =)
- HackWithRamzi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hell Yeah llamas rock! They shoulda used one.
- nsolo1717, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, that animal is a bit whatever like
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The off-centered-ness of the thing would eventually drive me insane. I need symmetry. Awesome idea, though."
or just asymmetrical balance. - LowGan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that looks sooo sick
- kingbenny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The off-centered-ness of the thing would eventually drive me insane. I need symmetry. Awesome idea, though.
- outerspaceapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too cool man.
- DogHumpsMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"what makes it different than etching the same thing on any other piece of metal (such as a PC Case) just cuz its on an apple laptop doesnt mean its worth front page and 300+ diggs.."
Ummmm, absolutely nothing and it would still be pretty cool if he etched something so detailed on the side of a gas can. It's getting dugg because it's a pretty cool case mod, not because of the machine that got modded. - thecolorme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Although it's cool (and it's cooler than cool) it'll be hard to find a buyer who likes Lemurs as much as you when you need to upgrade.
- bizarobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The laser etchers are pretty nice, we have one here at GA Tech that I have access to. The big problem that I see with etching something so detailed is the amount of dirt that would collect in the small etched grooves. It might be a pain to clean or even somewhat rough-surface to hold.
- ender78, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Vulpes , um ...... of course it does :) It gets double geek cred for Unix and Mac affiliation :)
- kitykity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The vi lemur guy... so excellent! I love it. Now if Apple sold them that way, I might actually finally break down and buy a Mac. :D
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Geeks and power lasers--bad combination. Makes me wanna watch "Weird Science"
- hyphn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0mmm... wonder what else you could put on the back of your powerbook.... now where did i put that copy of playboy.....
- mindsinker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They should've used a Microsoft logo.
- aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dead freakin sexy
