MacBook Modder: F**k It, I'm Putting a Screen in the Apple [Mods]
Gizmodo —
Reaching what is probably the final frontier of novelty last-gen MacBook mods, Macmods member EdsJunk has put a full-function color LCD inside the Apple logo and hooked it up as a secondary display.

Eddie Zarick's inspirational hack can run iTunes visualizations, screensavers, even movies. It's such a shame his taste in music is so bad. [MacMods]

This is most definitely a “because I can” mod. There is absolutely no good reason for anyone to have a fully functioning screen on the back of their computer, but when did that ever stop anyone before. [MacMods, Via Gizmodo, DVICE]
