awwwww so creepily cute!!!!

this been done before. Why blame jonathan ive? This optical illusion is like 4 years old.

o-o

@GenNove:
Is the MB:Pro even that old?

This is clever and cool and quite innocent.
(maybe a slight creepy factor, but not badly so)

Why shit on it?

Red headed step child.

@waterdrop: i think that's a powerbook...no isight camera built in.

Oooo. It's like The Ring.

? i don't get it... ?

I find this picture disturbing.

Down's baby?

SIMPLE AS HELL!!!!

Take the pic with a laptop with no screen

add a filter over the part where the screen is supposed to go

add task car, desktop icons,etc..

@kcm117: you and me both.

*taskbar

jesus that kid is ugly

I always like the pictures like this that don't use Photoshop. I think they're pretty impressive.

Umm, is everyone missing it? How does the hand reach through? Scary.

Unless, weird fake baby hand! Gross.

yeah that fake baby hand is creepy.

Umm, is everyone missing it? How does the hand reach through? Scary.

Push your laptop screen all the way back so it lies flat when you take the picture of the kid, he rests his hand on the keyboard.

@miccheckin4life:

Even easier than that would be to lay the screen on the laptop all the way back, take the pic with the hand on the keyboard, and then shop in the screen and go from there.

That does not make this any less cool, though.

@twoeightnine:

Beat me to it. GMTA.

@kadtech: So you hate god, and kids...

@farcast: That's what I'm saying, is there some poor little ginger kid running around without a hand for the sake of art? It's bad enough he has no soul, now he'll never get to play Katamari Damacy either!

@strider_mt2k: im with you man. i see no reason to bash this pic. whether the concept has been done before its still a great image. one that I could not create

I think this would be better if the kid's face weren't so blue...
(da ba dee, da ba dai)

Reminds me of poltergeist.

oh so it was photoshopped..cheap

LMAO!
THAT ROCKS! panoramic screen. or is it call'd halographic. I cant remember but wasnt there a concept like that for a sony laptop.
Had a see through screen that was fiberglass or panoramic.

Why must people make assanine comments. If you don't like it, move on and shut the f*ck up.

@s1pacrat: is it because his face is on the screen? i'm confused, it looks like his face is the image on the desktop, did they just use some kind of filter in photoshop to make it look like it's the lcd making the image. I totally dig it.

I've seen many these kinds of illusions, but the child's hand is pretty freaky. It looks as if he's touching the keyboard

who's gonna pay for this? pedophiles that wish the kids were actually jumping out of their screens. fuckin gross.

There's no iSight.

Ive's should have used a lobster claw instead of creepy baby paw.

it reminds of some episode in heroes

@Amiash: I miss heroes so badly!

The way people do this is to take a photo crop it so it matches the perspective of the camera and then make the the wallpaper. there's a whole group dedicated to it in flickr

Sure you can use photoshop to fake it but that's no fun is it?

That is one ugly baby.

@lpxxfaintxx: that's one ugly computer.

Man all I get is a dam paperclip tapping on my screen. Stupid wire why can't you be a baby!

I tried to re-create this picture, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong... Unrelated note: Anybody know how to get baby blood out of a keyboard? It splooshes when I try to type....

Damn..
I just saw ring yesterday night man.. Freaks the shyt outa ya when ur high.

This happens to porn when you drink too much orange liqueur at 4 am while watching.

@Kaiser-Machead: Except that it feels like the hand of reaching through the screen?

@Mandatory_Field: @Mandatory_Field: Oops that should have read "Except that it feels like the hand of (insert name of favorite porn star's name here) reaching through the screen?" Damn angle brackets....

not to be mean, but looks like someone has down syndrome

I'm sorry, but what exactly is the point of this post? This sort of thing is years old.

Oh, I see. You get to say "Jonathan Ive" and "Steve Jobs" and show a MacBook.

Sorry, forgot where I was for a moment. Later dudes.

@vicsells:

Why is photoshopping considered "cheap?" - I think the final product should be judged, and if it looks real, or interesting, or beautiful (etc.) - why does it matter how it was created?

I think that the originals were special because they DIDN'T use photoshop. (check the link)

if this didn't use photoshop, then i stand amazed, I have no idea how he would have done the hand except using a fake baby hand.

if it is photoshopped, it's still cool, but i gotta say i'm not sure as to why it would be on gizmodo, i've shopped cooler things.

@prince_of_paradox: A work of art can be made with a .50 cent #2 pencil. Any schmuck can scribble a Sable brush across a canvas.

That's the Omen kid.

Cool. Translucent holographic screens! Can you make them fully opaque? If not, this is no better than a well done Photoshop job...wait a minute...

This was done by photoshop and 2 pictures taken from exactly the same pov.
I can do such stuff without any problems :)

@TWOEIGHTNINE:
@regnez:

except mac laptop screens don't go back that far because of the invisible hinge design. they only open to about 105 degrees or so.
