    skreuzer writes "Earlier in the week, someone figured out how to get all the fonts and graphics off the iPod's firmware. Today, Engadget has an article that details on how to mod your own iPod's firmware and display just about any graphic for icons such as power, battery, status, etc."

    RideMax writes "Forbes today has posted a nice selection of printer-friendly halloween masks, including those of several dead celebrities, and of course, this famous billionaire." An anonymous reader sent in a strange Halloween Geek Test. And another reader sent in the iPod-O-Lantern.

  4. Assorted Bits of Halloween

    It wouldn't be Halloween without a linux jack-o-lantern like the one submitted by h0mee, who writes "Just an amusing little Halloween set of pics. If you're curious about making your own, Buddy Moore provides us with a mini howto. For some spooky, fleener notes that the University of Texas at Austin's Digital Morphology Library provides X-Ray CT views of living and extinct vertebrates, like this full skeleton of a fruit bat or just its gnashing skull. Other spine-chilling notables include: the veiled chameleon, scaleless dragonfish, black cat, and the fearful pineapple. Lastly, BrGaribaldi noticed that Ridley Scott has re-edited Alien and is releasing it on Halloween in some lucky theaters. Not very many movies are scarier than that." Updated!

    Update: 10/31 19:30 GMT by C : Barry sent in this one for you Apple lovers: "I saw your Linux jack-o-lantern, but how about this? The guys over at iPodHacks.com have actually carved an iPod into a pumpkin, creating the world's only iPod-o-Lantern. That's 7000 songs in your...pumpkin. Thought you might want to update the Halloween posting, as this is an ideal fit."

    Also, David Clubb submits this achievement for your consideration: "Since it's Halloween, we at the University of Rochester's Computer Interest Floor decided to build a web server out of a pumpkin. We dissembled a 100MHz PII and placed it into a 54 lbs. pumpkin. It runs Gentoo and can be accessed here. Please don't Slashdot it too badly!"

    And it just wouldn't be Halloween without the following, from a nameless submittor: "To quote the site, 'Extreme Halloween Fright.' A fairly comprehensive guide to making your pumpkin a bit more hi-tech using power tools, and perhaps the definitive pumpkin trepanning site." Pumpkins and powertools. How can you go wrong?
