Because Nostalgia Always Beats Practicality

So I was in Best Buy yesterday, iPadding in Cantonese because I like a challenge, when I thought to myself ‘Gee, this form factor is so ugly. Can we get back to basics for a minute?’ Well, yes. Yes we can.

SiteHirac presents an iPad case for the gentleman-or-woman who wants to take it back to the day of beautiful, age-stained yellow computer casings – the day of the Mac Classic. And as far as I can tell, this is an actual Macintosh Classic, gutted and retooled into the cutest lil’ iPad holder you’ve ever seen. The lack of home button functionality is disturbing, but nothing a solid half-inch drill bit can’t fix, right?

I’d have more info, but I can’t really be bothered to take the time to regurgitate whatever mess Babelfish is willing to spit out if I translate this. I think we all sorta get the idea, here, yeah? Let’s just declare this ‘cool’ and call it a day.

You like videos, surely. Well, you’re in luck, because I’ve got one right here.
