iPod Nano Upgrade

Of all the silly…

Some guy tore apart a perfectly good iPod Nano and connected a 200GB Maxtor hard drive to it. Amazingly, it worked. The capacity increased by 50x, but battery life dropped to about 6 minutes.

Somehow that doesn’t seem like a good tradeoff for a portable.

On the other hand, if you were to do this hack & hook the Nano up to a set of Logitech X-230’s, or maybe one of those spiffy $30 Sonic Impact T-Amps and a good set of Bose speakers… That just might work out as a nice desktop stereo!

You know that's an uncylcopaedia article, right? The page you linked to shares a website with other great factual content like The War of the Noodles (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Warofthe_Noodles).

Wow, I can't believe they went to the trouble of photoshopping a hand holding and ipod and a hard drive!? Surely it'd be easier to just actually put elastic bands round a real ipod and HD... unless they don't have a Nano I guess...

Surely noone reeaaaally fell for it?? ... right?? ...

Anyway, the whole thing seems to be a lot of trouble to go to just in the hope of trolling apple fans!

Oh come on now; they wouldn't lie about a thing like this, would they?

Is uncyclopedia the wiki version of The Onion? I'm so ashamed...

What's sad is that we got tracked back three times. We perpetuated a con.
