For the Nerds

These are instructions for upgrading a 4Gb ipod Nano to 200GB capacity.

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Ipod_Nano_200gb_Instructions

I particulary like the bit at the end that says battery life is adversely affected by this upgrade, and some ipod nano covers may not fit after the modification is made.

Well I thought it was funny anyway.

in fact the http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page is pretty darn hilarious in itself.

That is pretty funny, I wonder if they actually made it work or if it was just a sham.

looks pretty technical. I don't know enough to know whether it is bullshit or not, but his tech-speak is impressive.

If nothing else, it's a good way to destroy a perfectly good iPod

Did you see how shabby it looks at the end though. It looks like the originl with a small hard drive attached by rubber bands and wires. It wouldn't last ten minutes.

Ok, it's interesting that you can do it. I'll give you that. But it's the most impractical thing I've ever seen.
However, I have instructions for how you can turn a simple push-bike into a Toyota Tarago with just a few simple 'mods'.
All you need to do is get your bike and tie it to the roof of a Toyota Tarago. However, you should be advised that this 'mod' may make it more difficult to ride your bike in the traditional sense.

That's like my toaster/cd player that melts cd's to the perfect consistancy. - patent pending.

Matt said...

I don't think the author was seriously advocating the procedure. By his own admission, the thing runs for 6 minutes.

Noodle said...

Mmmmmmmm... gooey cd's...

it also plays digital bagels.

Matt said...

You can put that with your pixie dust-powered laptop.

You are going to make it big someday John, just beleive in yourself.
