Schlock.

cool
love these iKea bins :-)
iKea. Nice.
Yeah, that's THE wallpaper.
I hear they intentionally destroyed the presses after they made this paper for nathan, so no one else could have it...
I got mine like this at target
Poor Mac
May I buy your trashed laptop?
Not for now :)

Apple are repairing it, although it's taking mighty long for it to come back to me.
I got mine like this at Kmart before they were cool. (in '02 in fact)
"Yeah, that's THE wallpaper"
indeed.
i love how the notes are really bunched up together neatly in little cliques :-)
Umm, I didn't do that :D
neatness is a hallmark of all things Nathan.
You can buy it, its gonna be the price of a new macbook Pro minus the price of the hard drive, plus Apple is gonna replace the HD
The hd of his MacBook might be dead but the MBP Karma keeps me from posting sticky notes over it. Do you guys experiment the same thing ?
Mine is from Target as well.
this est teh sexxx.
mine est from staples..
I got one from a dollar store
it also matches the real default trashcan that is in os x.
Which is why I bought mine.
I broke the mould
Office Max
I want mac book pro :(
me 2
Ikea ist der letzte Dreck mit Kick und Lidl und Aldi!
Got mine from target. Came with some other misc office crap, too. I've had it for about 8 years now, still looks good.
this sould be a pc.
This is just painful to look at...mac in the trash...
thaty's my macbook pro...er, or just like it!
why are there no notes in the middle? now there are.
"Daddy, what happens to a PowerBook when it dies?"
Thats so mean! If i was there, id grab it and run!
Two+ shadows, low voltage lighting?
I did dim my lights before I took this :)
Got mine from OSX. 4life
That wallpaper is TEH TETRIS
can i be with you guys over here? i heard the clique in the upper left talking about us...

*hiss hiss*
The New iTrash?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This image is money!
Wheres the iPod?
iPod's hard drive is just fine ;)
You're 100% right. ;-)
Sooooo, when do you put
your trash out?
Well done!
:'(
don't worry be happy little sad note =)
I purchased one at IKEA myself due to this picture.
I have walls in my house too!
I have this same can, except mine is black!
Nice TRASH ICON for mac dock lol
Well Done.
*Cries*
Isso se chama liberdade!
That's called freedom!
(I hope my English is good)

Isn't a tooth?
Love at first sight
I have the black version of this bin from ikea
haha this is soo funny! I wish I had a mac...;( sniff. I have an IBM thinkpad *barf*. oh, well.

haha mines the bigest note!!
what the hell is going on? *chuckle*
i would have taken it.
Hey fellas! *snort*
Noooooooooooo!!!
let's start a new note tree!! maybe connect it to another one??
EnG: If you don't want this anymore give it to me, i want ;(.

Port: Se você não quer mais isso de para mim.
SO fun!
do you have any idea how much i need this
lets start a new one :)
Add your note here.
So did you buy a P.C.? Once you go Mac, you never go back!

I just had to add a note ;)
Noooo!!!
Apple 4Ever
I AM UNSTOPAPPLE! (get the pun 'apple'? im sorry
you are totally insane!lol karl from philippines
Don't worry, I'll take your trash out for you. =)
Weeaah!! Note!


Lets make LOTS!!
Why did you take out the trash icon from the dock? Please put it back! I need to throw a windows B.S.O.D. out
so there's a powerbook in the bin, big woop!
Schlock. by –nathan.
My MacBook Pro had a dead hard drive, and therefore couldn't go on any longer. It was taken to the Apple Store, but they took 3 weeks to install a new drive, and eventually gave me a brand new, faster MacBook Pro becuase of all the issues I'd had (whine, moo, hiss, heat, boot).

This was blogged about in several countries *smiles*...

The American TUAW, Consumerist, and Nick Starr.com
The Canadian CyberPsycho.
The Italian ItaliaMac.
The French Apple Gadget.
The German Macnotes.
The Spanish Cocido Balmasedano
The Turkish Mac Dunyasi.
The Malaysian My Mac Buzz

I like the minimalism of the whole experience, and the contrast of such a high-tech device held captive by a simple trashcan.

hope the angels are able to restore it to health...

From TUAW:

"I'm surprised the Genius didn't make it boot in verbose/text mode.

Apparently it would get to the Apple boot screen, but didn't get any further. Text-mode boot would have shown what was actually going on.

I called Apple, and it's still in the Apple Store, waiting for the spare parts to come from the depot. I was told 4-5 days for a new drive when I took it in, then told 10-15 days on the phone to Apple this morning.

I'll leave it until Friday, and then I'll kick some ass :)
