What happens When You Cook Your Palm Pilot
Hal-kun writes "What happens when you put a Palm Pilot in the oven to dry with the warmth of the pilot light, only to have someone cook a Pizza while you were out? Take a look. Stick a fork in it, I think it's done."
Shouldn't it just run faster?
Oh, he over cooked it...

The nerve of this person, cooking a Palm in an oven!
Everyone knows you're supposed to barbecue them!

This would be news if the device actually still ran after melting. "The indestructable Palm Pilots..."
To the term "HotSync" :)
I hope the pizza didn't get ruined.
I hear that microwave ovens are really great for drying off your poodle after a shampoo!
I guess he didn't purchase the Palm eMeatThermometer2.0(TM) attachment. That, plus the optional wireless add-on pack, should have alerted his pager to pull it out of there in time...
Sounds like a PalmPilot in the hand is better than two in the oven...
Storm: What happens when you cook a Palm Pilot?
Storm: The same thing that happens to everything else.
...but it's being eaten...by some...Linux or something...

Or has anyone else noticed that the most sure-fire way to get an article on Slashdot is to wreck complex electronics?
Pouring concrete in a PC case, cooking your Palm Pilot, what's next? Xbox tossing? eBook flushing? Blasting a new iMac with a high-powered laser? Okay, that last one would be cool.

if you are putting Palm pilots on pizzas as toppings. :)
My mother always said that bad things would come from Palm abuse...
Being stupid enough to leave a Palm Pilot unattended in the oven, I hope everyone in that household had second helpings of the pizza - thus choking on the toxic waste, dying, an earning first place in the Darwin Awards. Evolution - ain't it grand?
...a slice of pizza in his Palm charging/sync cradle, and his roommate hoping he wouldn't notice anything wrong?
To get back on-topic.. (because we can't STAND to read a post that's not on the topic of burnt PDAs in a burnt PDA article.. that would be a waste of TIME!) Yeah, I think burnt PDAs are really cool. Hey, I could.. make a.. ummmm.. burnt PDA.. sandwich. Hahahahaha. Imagine a beowulf cluster of those. roflol.
Oi..... Son of the bloody monkey.

AMD has announced that they are working on a new line of chips designed to work in Palm pilots and other small personal devices. When asked of their progress an AMD spokesman commented "The initial tests look encouraging although we're still having some problems with the heat dispersement. We've submitted some of the results of the experiment to a "research" group in hopes that they will have some useful insight."
I stole this Sig
