Squeezebox MP3 Player Hacked to Play Video

Xenna writes "The Squeezebox MP3 Player has found a new application: With the Videobox software and some cabling it becomes a networked Video Player. This is the latest development to come out of the active community Slim Devices have managed to attract around their very hackable MP3 players. Only last week the SoftSqueeze software player was announced on the Slim users mailing list. The Squeezebox was reviewed on Slashdot last December."

    Mama's got a Squeezebox
    And when Daddy comes home
    He never gets no rest

    'Cause she's playing all night
    And the CODEC's all right
    Mama's got a Squeezebox
    Daddy never sleeps at night

    "Well the stuntman can't eat"
    says Valenti, who can't sleep
    When you play illegal DIVx
    Cuz it's so damn l33t

    'Cause she's playing all night
    And the movie's all right
    Mama's got a Squeezebox
    Daddy never sleeps at night

    ...or if squeezebox was supposed to be slang for vagina. ....which she "wears on her chest"? Anatomy lessons all around, folks. Time to help out those folks whose only knowledge of female anatomy comes from all-night Tomb Raider sessions.

    I just threw out a cordless screwdriver

    A cordless screwdriver? I didn't know screwdrivers had cords in the first place.

    Yes. You can use a cordless hammer to smash open your cordless screwdriver and replace the batteries.

    I tried it once, however, and had no luck. None of my cordless screwdrivers turned out to have batteries once I smashed them to bits. They were all solid inside.

    I think this illustration should help to clear up any confusion as to where the squeezebox is located.
