Mac Mini In My Car

[elijahstylez03]

LOL front row

[wesneydjy]

were did u get it ???

[hellfigter12345]

^^ its pointless but if he is rich like me he dont care waste alittle money

[mart182003]

no offense but this seems pointless, you could have just installed an indash navigation which would have done all or most of the things you could ask, but its still cool.

[kbhasikevin]

how did you get the monitor power button to also press the mac power button?

[prt1667]

In my part of town, you'll get robbed in a second.

[sinoperture]

You should have put linux it or some other OS where the system sleeps and doesn't need a restart when you turn the ignition key. Also using an IR repeater or conduit material would retain the built in IR functionality. Isn't it also dangerous to have such a large screen with moving content also on while driving?

[GDUBBlazer01]

Why do you need a Mac in your car?

[drbos]

@GDUBBlazer01 cuz he can do that

[MWNinjas]

its 1101 right now ;)

[uangakisima]

pathetic...

[gentleman2405]

you probably should have used a touch-screen display - that would make it really amazing!?

what about your iphone-holder!? Doesn't the iphone through out if you brake!?

funny shit :)

[DJscooterTEAM]

@gentleman2405 it is

[BaSsCr3aToR1]

[6124279]

@2MCHNV Ahahahahaah dont be hatin on the fella lol

[RonjaMiin]

Nice :) But I don't understand why yu don't using the Apple Remote :) Much easier :)

[GreenVirus76]

If you turn off your car...

[KatanaOG]

cool!

[xxSilvershooterxx]

when youre car get stole than youre fucked ^^

[JTO518]

macs kick pc's ass.

[Kawandaio08]

it's Nice to see mac minis doing things other than being desktop computers.

[Thiaaguu]

does it have wifi connection on the car ?

[jakemertz]

now just wire the magic mouse to your car and then you can have your phone in your pocket

[americansmark]

Why not just rewire the receiver and put in the dash, or in this case, into the monitor? I'm on the hunt for a trackpad for mine. I want to wire the multi-touch trackpad into the the mac.

[oliver18754]

True geeks always have a computer monitor in their car along with 3g wifi.

[cizan316]

Why not just use the apple remote?

[cizan316]

never mind , you could use an ir extender since controlling it from iphone is a pain and not very esthetically pleasing

[FocuSzUzumaki]

is that safe ?

[skaterboywithflicks]

seriously?

do you really need a mac in your car too?

[JamesStonee]

wow, that is incredible! the only thing i would worry about tho is someone trying to steal the monitor or something. absolutely incredible though!

[KillerAnt360]

Whats wrong with a laptop rather than having to work from a pre vuilt mac in your car???

Oh hi stoney :)

[TheNerfSniper]

thats totally safe

[tehglu]

isnt that liliput touch screen?

[karunald]

Granted I don't know what I'm saying, but why involve the Mac Mini at all?  Surely there has to way to use the iPhone as the 'computer' - since it IS one. Use TVout jailbreak app, etc. Or why not AppleTV?

What I don't get is how these are integrated into the car stereo system fully.

[Eientatsu]

iphone has only 16 gig storage capability plus there are much more things you can do with a mac mini.

[JustBeingKids]

also what model of 3g wireless router???

[JustBeingKids]

what model of lcd did you use? i am planning to do something like this in my car

[macbookpro57]

thats awesome!

[kilimats02]

3g wireless router ? confused...why dont you use the iphone 3g connection on your carputer, easy to do you know

[chaihot5]

There are more disadvantages than advantages to use the iphone 3g as a router.

1)Have to jailbreak the iphone in order to use the pdanet application

2)Battery life of iphone will reduce in time because it drains alot of juice from the iphone

It all depends on the user actually. Thanks for the comments :)

Cheers

[hayashiyuuzen]

lol.... in singapore... we get offers of free 3g routers when we sign up with a fixed broadband... haha

[kilimats02]

this defeat the purpose of a carputer, touch control from the liliput screen lol.

What you did is pointless to me, it makes control even harder because the screen is smaller than the 7" LCD screen

[chaihot5]

My lcd screen is 8.4" in size, the reason to use the touch control is to eliminate the use of mouse, as there is limited space around my car to use it. Cheers
