As slow as that web site is, that FedEx truck can take it's time.

pretty cool, too bad you basically have to destroy your ipod to replace the battery though.

It's hilarious when someone tries to take apart something and ends up ripping the shell all to hell.

You gotta admit though, the iMac G5 is much easier to take apart and then put back together.

people take these things apart to find out what they are made of, to end all the questions. if people werent curious then apple could make these shuffles out of recycled unidentified corpses. but if no one investigated, then how would we know?

and once again, this item is only $100, its not like hes taking apart a 17" powerbook for no reason, though i'm sure there have been people that have done that.

While that might be interesting, I just don't have the patience. One photo per screen, and each photo takes forever to load. I got about 6 photos deep before giving up. Interesting idea, but they should have put it all on one page.
