Rig of the Day: MacBook on a bed

You're fired.

Steps for posting a comment on this RotD:

1. Find a sense of humor.

That is all.

To be fair...

They indeed didn't show this guy's complete rig. That would apparently be here:

We're not critical of your friend. Just of TUAW.
Consider it feedback.

While RotD is a nice pass-time, fun and often informative; some rigs are more rig than others, and, I think most agree that they wouldn't call their portable & cooling pad on their bed a "rig" let alone think about featuring that as RotD for the whole world to see. Add some inaccuracies and omissions you get some TUAW readers that like to point that out. That's all.

Yes, I thought the iLap was the important part in the Rig of the Day but it wasn't even mentioned.

Couple of things that need to be cleared up here:
1: J|D sleeps on a normal bed, its just the perspective that makes it look like its on the floor
2: Yes its simple, but if u could do a 360 degree shot you would see the rest of the setup
3: This is J|D's SECOND RotD, is that a record???

How do I know all this?? I'm one of J|D's best mates in the real world, I got him into Mac's and he doesn't deserve the criticism being levelled.

Hmmm... nobody seems to have noticed he uses an iLap.
Damn expensive peace of bent aluminum sheet with some sponge attached to it. But it's definitely a must-have if you're using your Apple notebook as a laptop and don't want to burn your legs.
I live mine... ;)


om.

some of us keep fully updated rig pics in the pool.
this is a slap in the face to those that actually bother.

Hope he updates us with new pictures when his bed catches on fire ...

Problem is Scotty, a lot of the old "Rigs" were very cool. This is a huge disappointment in comparison.
