Those are absolutely the most absurd things I've ever seen.

For the man who never wants to get laid, announcing iCufflinks!

I don't wear cufflinks very often, but if I did, I would totally want them to be these. This is pretty cool.

It almost makes me want to add cufflinks to my T-Shirts... Wear them like Pips

Go to ROTC you can get those, then you can be a Full bird ...

 

[Optheduim]

OK I am a huge mac loser just like the rest of you... HOWEVER... IF I EVER WALKED INTO A BUSINESS MEETING AND MY CUFFLINKS ARE "BREATHING" (aka Blinking)... I'd be called an idiot and i'd never get promoted.

Unless you're the CEO... don't buy these!

I believe this design is not exclusive to Apple but may be universal for moist computers

I thought computers generally did not like moisture.

 

[Exhumed]

Yeah sorry Apple, if by "psychologically appealing" you mean "less annoying than a regular blinking light" then okay, sure, I guess.

Does anyone else cover their Macbook with something before going to bed each night? I use my laptop mostly in/on my bed, and it's damn annoying to have a pulsing blue glow as I try to sleep at night.

I turn off the power strip that powers my home entertainment system too; I like pitch darkness. I wonder if there's another solution. I like to sleep with a fan on to provide white noise and air circulation, and it has a light too. I rely on so many electronics now; if I left everything on at night my room would light up like a Christmas tree.

I would like them if it wasn't for the flashing I'd quite like them. Or if they could have a minitursed wifi mountable drive.

Interestingly, neither the current iMac, nor the Macbook Air features a standby indicator. I think this blinkenlight is on its way out.

 

[Lazrhog]

Damn I wish I thought of that !! So cool.

My Nephew just said "but whats the point ?". Lol, evidently no Geek !

Yeah cool but lame at the same time. I mean think about what one is communicating with those cuff links. "I'm in sleep mode".

And people will be intrigued when they first see them yet when your asked about them all you can say is "im in sleep mode" what a turn off.

It's hard to imagine someone would buy these

Tried to get them yesterday, but they are sold out..

Apple should make these

I spoke too soon

I felt the same way. They look really they do, but when asked what they mean, let's face it

LOL true. Imagine wearing those while giving a presentation at a business meeting. Zzzzzzzzzz...

You *can* choose when and where to wear them, you know... normal cufflinks for business attire, and these for Christmas parties or other times when a little bit of whimsy is good...

Yeah cool but lame at the same time. I mean think about what one is communicating with those cuff links. "I'm in sleep mode".

How about "ready for full power at any time"? A bit more optimistic...

It's hard to imagine someone would buy these

There's a fairly large business in novelty cufflinks. I own more than a few myself; why not appreciate a little creativity?

EDIT:

OK.... That's weird.

Young punk.

it be cool if they could actually wake your mac too, but if i ws a rich person i would defiantly buy those.

Stay in school.

I do not know about you all but my Dell from 2006 has the same p[power button on the tower and the monitor. I believe this design is not exclusive to Apple but may be universal for moist computers

You didn't really say that!

You can't seriously not know what cuff links are...

Sure he can. There are du[cough]mb as[cough]ses everywhere.

Then what would be the point?

Maybe you would prefer having your avatar for cufflinks.

Personally, I plan on never wearing cufflinks again.

Until the WiFi drive comes out...

There's this:

http://www.cufflinks.com/silver-2gb-usb-flash-drive-cufflinks.html

They're available in gunmetal, silver, and gold,...and engravable, too

 

[Lesser Evets]

It screams "I can't get laid for love nor gold" in a kitschy, tacky, low-class style.
Wear them to Super Bowl parties.

 

[X5-452]

I remember telling some of my Windows friends that the sleep indicator pulsed like the machine was breathing.... They all thought it was creepy

 

[Ka Ora!]

Spinning basketball of death cufflinks would have been way cooler

And some blue screen of death sunglasses

 

[LarryC]

That is odd. I would have thought that cufflinks are something that would primarily be marketed to adults!
