20100318-york.jpg

If ever you needed a sign that Apple was a different kind of technology company, this is it.
What other computer manufacturer would remove its top-selling, hype-inducing, industry-altering new product from the prime spot on its website home page, and replace it with an obituary to an investor?
This is one of those “Here’s to the [...]

Magic Mouse Giveaway Winning Workspace Photo

Nick Duarte's Winning Workspace Photo

Nick Duarte's Winning Workspace Photo

We might not be the biggest fans of Apple’s new Magic Mouse, but we know you want one anyway. Cult of Mac Facebook fans the world over submitted pictures of their workspaces that allowed us a look deep into their souls. New Macs, old Macs, and Macs wading in saltwater tugged at our hearts in a battle for a wireless peripheral that could truly drive each to creativity and productivity.

For a full gallery of what we were working with, consult the Cult of Mac Facebook Page. We’ve also posted a gallery of cool workspaces that might inspire you to tighten up.

In the end, it was Nick Duarte’s optical illusion of an office that clinched the Magical Mouse. It could be that Cult of Mac was displayed on the screen, or the haphazardly hung pictures, but it was probably the wireless keyboard horribly paired with a USB mouse.

We can’t and won’t let you deal with this any longer, Nick. Your mouse is in the mail.

    Poor choice I think. You had some much more original looking offices than this one.

    Thats what won? Was it the only entry or were all the others even more lame?

    That’s an actual workspace?? Looks like a still-life picture, rather than workspace. Does the guy sit on the table?

    Congrats!!!!

    Thanks so much! To Marian, if I pulled a bit further back you would see the chair in front of the table. To be honest it’s not this clean when I actually work there but this is how I have it for when clients visit. Depending on my mood and how many people come I either sit behind the Mac with the clients in front, or I have no chairs at all and just stand and casually talk. In between client visits the table is piled with contracts and camera equipment

    Great picture. I love the composition on the wall. That space really needs a wireless mouse to complete the very futuristic style. Congrats!

    WTF??!!!

    see this is why I didn’t even enter…waste of time

    I don’t get it.

    Big CoM fan, but I too am confused. Are you friends with Nick? I just don’t get it. I should have put my laptop on my dining room table and taken a picture.

    Wow, congrats! Loved the place :)

    now that looks worky.

    i like all the papers and crap where he works. on his workspace.

    That’s great for your neck.

    I absolutely adore my Magic Mouse. It’s the best mouse I’ve ever used, hands-down. Congrats to the lucky winner!
