Cow Dies Needlessly to Coat Eee PC in Horrid Leather Modding

There’s just no excuse for this leather-clad Eee PC 901 mod. No excuse at all. No—not even the fine workmanship which means it’s got an arguably professional-grade finish. A cow died needlessly for this, remember. Daisy, I think she was called. And it’s just a tiny, crappy netbook. If you’re going to mod anything into a leather-clad version we want to see a 150-inch plasma TV in shocking-pink nubuck. That would be a worthwhile use of skin. [EEEPCNews.de]

    I hate to break the news but cows, unlike seals for example, are not slaughtered for their skin. The skin is a waste product of the meat industry. Making leather from a cow skin is converting waste to something use- and beautiful. One of the better examples of Recycling.
