Old iMac G3s Find New Life As Ceiling Lamps

Old iMac G3s Find New Life As Ceiling LampsThe old iMac G3’s are a stark contrast to the design of the iMacs today. While the iMacs today feature a more professional and elegant design of glass and metal, the iMac G3s were the complete opposite with translucent plastic bodies and came in a variety of bright and eye-catching colors. We can imagine there aren’t too many iMac G3s in use these days, so what can one do with old and possibly broken iMac G3s? Turn them into ceiling lamps, of course! The photo above was shot by Jenny Serwylo, and as it turns out, those iMac G3s are actually hanging in the office she works at, G Adventures in Toronto, Ontario. We can only assume that these G3s have been hollowed out otherwise they might be in danger of falling due to their weight! We can’t speak as to how well these iMac G3 lamps light up the room, or if they’re more for decoration, but we have to admit that it is pretty clever.

Low-Budget iPhone Concept Reminds Us Of The iMac G3

Low Budget iPhone Concept Reminds Us Of The iMac G3We’re sure many are wondering what Apple’s low-cost iPhone could look like. Obviously it will not feature premium materials like aluminum on the iPhone 5, but ceramic was a material rumored to be used. In any case designer Nickolay Lamm has come up with his own take of what the budget iPhone could, or should, look like. For those who have been using Mac computers from back in the day, you might see some striking resemblance to the iMac G3 computers. For those who aren’t familiar, they were the iMacs which sported translucent bodies and came in a variety of bright and colorful designs.

Could we be seeing Apple release such a…whimsical looking device? While this is merely a concept, the recent lineup of iPod touch devices do come in a variety of different colors, so seeing Apple take the more colorful route might not be such a stretch of the imagination. Either way this concept looks pretty good, but what do you guys think? Would you mind owning an iPhone that looked like that?
