Clamshell Sustainability Redesign

The clamshell iBook is the most durable notebook Apple has ever built. But we can do better - look at the Clamshell Sustainability Redesign project on Shrakner.net. It contains a lot of good ideas such as the ability to detach the screen from the rest of the computer or to use the bottom of the computer as a multimedia center. It's a pity that it is only a dummy.

I really like the sleep light. Everyone else's just blink on and off, and they're very mechanical, and this is typical of their design. We wanted to do something that was more animated and fluid - and about life. And this machine is like 'breathing' [the iBook's light pulsates] on and off. Their machines might work, but they just do the very minimum to meet the functional imperative.
