Interesting how every single one of those people uses a Mac, even the guy who works at Microsoft and another who worked on ASP.NET.

Bleh, I use a mac because I have to for iOS dev. But it kind of sucks for desktops. You can choose between an under-powered mini, the far-overpriced pro, or the ugly single monitor iMac(I like my apple branding where I don't have to look at it, thank you).

For what it's worth, the iMac has been able to power a secondary screen for quite some time. Not that's it's a great alternative - Apple has always had a lackluster desktop line the first iMacs took off.

This is the exact feeling I get when I have to work with a Windows PC. They are cheap, feel like a brick of plastic and are not a bit what they promise to be. But I found a solution. I just stopped using them. I hate them and I hope not to touch one again in my life.

So maybe you should consider leaving Macs and Apple devices alone to have a happier life I guess.

Well, Scott Hanselman says he has a Mac, not that it's his primary machine. In the actual photo he's clearly using Windows on a ThinkPad.

My main machine is the super desktop linked to. My travelling machine is the loaded W520p. My Mac (for node, rails, iPhone, etc) is the MacBook Pro.

So could some non-mac people post theirs?

Is this usethis for the uninvited?

any member can post their own hacker desk from here (http://coderwall.com/p/t/hackerdesk), these are just a few featured ones

Do your selection criteria for 'featured' desks include use of Apple hardware? Or can we assume that interesting work is being done mainly on Air laptops?

That page is very badly designed. Why is the workspace picture not shown directly below each name? I don't feel like clicking 20 times to look at 2 workspaces.

Release early, release often is why its not perfect. Its also a general purpose way to share links, pro tips, and photos. But there is a 'next' button one you get into protips
