If this doesn't make you want an iPad

I think she meant "clean up."

Well, that makes all the difference then.

I looked, it doesn't.

Happily in my iPad free zone.

Running a Macbook with its lid closed like that is not a good idea.

In any case, that setup is still gorgeous.

The older models I agree, but I think the newer MacBooks (with the ventilation arrangement along the spine) are designed a little more with this type of use in mind. After all, Apple sell this stand in their store -it would be pretty reckless of them to promote & sell a product that could cause damage to a MacBook when used. I know what you are saying though. The wifi performance takes a huuuuuuge dip when the MacBook is used this way.

No it's not a good idea even with the new Macbooks.

A fairly misinformed statement. Apple has allowed their machines to run in clamshell mode, they even have a doc speaking to using the machine like this. So no, it's not a bad idea at all. I ran a PowerBook like this for 4 years. No issues.

The OP's pic doesn't make me want anything really. Maybe a hamburger, but that's cuz I'm hungry.

I wanted to make an app that allowed an iPhone/iPad to be utilized as a dashboard (like iStat) for a particular machine either through USB or network, and of course it would be multiple platform and enterprise ready for data center folk.

Then I realized that I cant code!

I like the ops pic though .

In the same boat with the app I wana make, only got about 2 semesters of C programming done, and didnt finish college so Im going to get some books I think, the app I want to make shouldnt be too hard though to design.

Should add a jailbroken iPhone to the picture.
