mStand: The Laptop Stand That Apple Should Have Made

Mike — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:25:33 +0000

Got my new laptop stand today from mStand.

There isn’t much to review…I mean its a stand…it doesn’t do much. That being said, the best complement I can give it is: ”If Apple made a laptop stand, this would be it.”

Should I Buy AppleCare or Upgrade My Hard Drive For My MacBook Pro?

Here’s a Mac question I’ll throw out in to the internet ether: My MacBook Pro is coming up on its 1 year birthday, should I buy the AppleCare for it, or upgrade the hard drive to a speedier, bigger model (upon doing so will kill my warranty)?

Pros / Cons:

I would hate to have something bad happen to my brushed metal companion and have no warranty, but I’ve never purchased Apple Care with my iMac or iBook and everything seems fine there, but its still scary.
It would be awesome to get the speed and space increase that a new HD would get me.
A new hard drive is way cheaper than Apple Care. Apple Care is $349 while a new 7200 RPM, 200 GB Seagate HD is only $149 @ NewEgg.
Its not completely scary, but its also not trivial to replace the hard drive in a MacBook Pro according to the walk-through I’ve read.

Seriously I’m stumped on this one. Anyone have some thoughts on this?

Leah Culver is a Blonde Genius

Lean Culver of the surprisingly named leahculver.com, came up with a cream dream supreme of an idea. She had those zany, heavily laden with venture capitalist cash Web 2.0 companies sponsor her bid for a new laptop. At $150 a square inch, she sold roughly 40 ads and got her new laptop for free. After it was all said and done…and engraved…it looked like this.

My first thought: How can I get a sweet piece of this action? Could I make a St. Louis version? Would people actually by into this? Do you have to be a cute blond to get this idea off the ground?

Will these questions be answered? Be sure to keep checking Hell Yeah Bitch! .com for the thrilling conclusion where we find out the answers to those questions, in order, are: “Do your own.”, “Yes.”, “Probably not.”, and “It wouldn’t hurt.”

So who wants to by an add?

Here’s the video of the process.
