The glowing irradiated inside of an Apple MacBook, as photographed by the curious Jason de Villa… as seen by the TSA every day!
About a week ago, I was in the mood to do something crazy – anything to help pull myself out of the blue funk I had fallen into. I texted my brother the vet to ask if he had an x-ray machine in his office, and what size his film plates were. I told him that I wanted to try and x-ray my laptop, something that had been on my mind ever since I saw an x-ray of an Apple Titanium PowerBook. He said “No problem,” and two days later I was sitting in his office waiting for him to finish minor surgery on a dog. When he was done and had washed up, he led me to the x-ray machine, asked me to place the laptop on the plate, and signaled for me to step away from the machine. A couple of seconds later the x-ray was done, and after 15 minutes his assistant handed me the developed film. I scanned the developed plate and enhanced the brightness and contrast, and made low-res copies of the file.
The MacBook x-ray and my 15 minutes of (internet) fame [Jason de Villa]
Countdown to Apple saying a Mac owner can’t X-ray their own property, or post results on Internet: 3…2…
For some reason, this made me think of Giger’s totem series.
It’s gorgeous. Who knew X-rayed circuits could be so appealing? Now post a 1920×1200 so I can make this my desktop
Where has HDCP ?
You can navigate to a 4052×2943 (Plenty for your desktop) image via the original post. Info is in his edit.
Does anyone else see the face of Jesus there, just to the right of center? Weird . . .
I think his 15 minutes is up…
