I wouldn't mind a laser-etched horse taking a bite out of the Apple logo.

you'd think he would have put a happy monkey on there. that monkey looks angry that tiny people are dancing on his head.

I'd prefer Homer Simpson, but he's not fond of apples.

Fuck it. I'd go with Homer anyway.

That's an ape, not a monkey :-P

That Chimp next to the Apple reminds me of Mike Tyson.

@LittleJon: I'm with you. I also get annoyed when people confuse mere monkeys with the great apes. Basically, apes don't have tails, and are much more closely related to humans. But "monkey" does sound funnier.

Those are the monkeys from Freeverse Software! Sweet! Those guys make some kick-ass games. Enigma, anyone?

Laser etching is nice and all, but I prefer the wobbly old-fashioned mechanical etching. I'd dremel a shaky, misproportioned PROPERTY OF JETEXAS, IF FOUND CALL 555-1209, in homage to what my father did to every calculator, stereo, amp and piece of random machinery I owned as a child.

(You know, so if it shows up in a pawn shop, you can prove it's yours.)

@ANoel: That's Racist!

Besides, it looks like a damn dirty ape to me!

@jetexas: I used to do that too, but I would just etch a small MLA (my initials) in an inconspicuous spot, like the bottom corner of my Game Boy.

@Xavoc: A damn dirty ape with little bug-eyed anime people on its head.

@drewheyman: Well, you'd be angry too if people were dancing on your head threatening you with a pencil, microphone, and um...I guess a submarine periscope?

@Nintenboy01:
Those are Mike's demons.

@Nintenboy01: Those little anime people are the idiots that blew it up.

@Nintenboy01: I've heard the expression, "monkey on your back," but never "chibi manga characters on the monkey's back." It must be a concept too deep for us to fully understand.

Who's aping who now, eh? *cough* Zune.

The face looks more like a cartoon howler monkey than a chimpanzee. Monkey it is.

@dumpsterdiver: People have been etching shit onto things way before the Zune existed.

@dumpsterdiver: Obviously the Zune is aping my flask, which I received well before personal mp3 players were on the market.

@Xavoc:
Ok, I take it back... scratch "Chimp" add "Champ".

@ANoel: No, no, I mean you were being insulting to Chimps... They're much more intelligent than Mike Tyson.

@Xavoc: And if they took a bite out of your ear, they'd have the balls to finish the job.

@Kaiser-Machead: Right turn Clyde!

@Kaiser-Machead:
By "finish the job" I assume you mean swallowing not spitting?

I bet that MBA regrets getting that done the following morning

@drewheyman:

"you'd think he would have put a happy monkey on there. that monkey looks angry that tiny people are dancing on his head."

Nah, he's mad cause there's no optical drive in his laptop.

@frigg: Wahahaha! That made my day.

This particular etching makes me wonder, is it possible to DE-etch a macbook?

Say, on second thought I think that's neither a "Chimp" nor a "Champ", nor a "Monkey".
I think that's a portrait, right there, of Peter Sellers' famous "Minkey".
Why do you look so glum in such a gay setting Mr. Minkey?
You'd rather bee on stiders' Bedu Emergency Rapid Response Barrel? [gizmodo.com]

@dumpsterdiver: you mean how the ipod had the etching before the zune?

That looks just plain weird. Why choose a monkey over portrait of his face? That way hecan prove it's his. "It has my face on it, therefore it is mine!"

@Odders3000: This doesn't work if John Tavolta steals his face and identity.

Fuck the Air.

is that a monkey or an irish guy?

@daftrok: fuck you

@daftrok: @savager:
Can't we please try to get along... like this ...

/I can almost hear the stereo "fuck YOU" coming back @me

@daftrok: How can you fuck air? Well, at least your manhood will get good ventilation.

That's actually my MacBook Air, lasing supplied by Phil Torrone of Make and Adafruit. Artwork was created by Steve Tzé, our creative director. =)

Please bombard my $2,000 laptop with laser beams.

@Justin D: I want video. Did it smoke? Smell funny?

PS I had a monkey painted on my Tecra 550 5 years ago. I want royalties.

I actually think it came out extremely well.
IT looks pretty cool i'd pay to have a monkey on miie Mac even tho monkeys eat bananas and bananas are the equivalent opposite of apples im still good with it.
A worm would be better suited.

can they laser etch a target on the cover?

My friend owns a company that does this.

Etch-A-Mac

@Nintenboy01:
Ask not "How can you fuck air?", ask "How can Air fuck you?".

Two lawyers are walking down the *ahem* shady side of the street one fine lunch hour and spy a dropdeadgorgeous woman walking over on the other side, radiant in the sun.
The first lawyer nudges his colleague and sneers "Man, I really want to fuck THAT!"
"Ya", the second lawyer pauses... "Out of what?".

I rest my case.

I hope this isn't the start of a new series of posts entitled "Will it etch?" that spur "Will it etch?" comments. *shakes head*

@PynkFloydd:

you forgot "dude, don't etch me"

So? I can do the same with my Sony Vaio. :^)

@quikboy: doesnt the plastic melt on the vaio?

Life imitating Art; imitating Life....

will it void the warranty?
