iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer

Johnny Mozzarella writes "MacWorld has a nice write-up on Jesse Melchior, an amateur special effects artist and filmmaker, who used his skills to create a custom installation that is worthy of an iPod mini. The article outlines the materials he used such as latex, plaster and dental acrylic to create an integrated dock complete with blue LEDs and Apple logo in his Ford Explorer."

    What the hell is it with these people?

    Why do they keep using the "homeland" meme? What kind of a man/woman gets all misty eyed and patriotic when the word "homeland" is used? To me it sounds vaguely fascist; something a military junta or a dictator would use.

  9. New application to be included in iLife 05 by ballsmccoy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We at Apple wondered why it is called iLife when it is incomplete. There was no porn managing software. Now, iLife '05 adds iCum. iCum is a completely integrated porn management suite. Using the video functions of iCum, behind the scenes, a usenet reader autosenses attachments in posts, and presents them to the user by the preview .jpg. If this is unavailable, iCum downloads enough of the clip to show a frame 8 seconds into the video. Auto par,unrar, and hjsplit functions are included and transparent to the user. Quicktime integration for auto-codec retreval and auto-playlist generation for split video files. Integration with iDVD means that a simple drag of the preview jpg will burn a session onto DVD with the entire scene with chapter breaks where the file is split.

    In still photo mode you can point iCum to picture-based groups, and by examining cross-posts with other groups, iCum can passover many spam posts showing the same pictures. Set it to scan and iCum will download all pictures in selected groups and store them in an ecrypted Filevault of a hidden user account. It will then allow for running iPhoto under that user via a password WITHOUT SWITCHING USERS.

    A search mode will search all requested newsgroups and will save searches. The saved searches area allows for passive searching and PVR-like capabilities and downloading on P2P networks when the computer is idle. Walk up to your computer the next day and iCum will have a series of clips based on common downloads with your favorite stars. This utilizes iCum specific P2P plugins for the new Sherlock.

    Integration with iMovie allows for video markers to be placed automatically in the clip an saves to .fukmov for use with your iVod portable movie players' new iJerk attachment powered by the iVod via firewire for hands-free jerking. Both male and female version have resevoirs available that hold 5 ounces of fluid so they may be used descretly in public without an immediate cleanup.

    iCum integrates with iChat to allow for iJerk functionality via external controls included with the iJerk unit.

    iLife 05 will be available 4th quarter 2004 and will retail for $69.69 and will bundled with iJerk.

    iVod will be available 1st quarter 2005 and will be bundled with 5 ounce resevoirs for public iJerk use.

    *Applecare protection plan not available for the iJerk. Apple Computer is not responsible for shock and burn damage caused by iJerk due to non-lubrication. Public use is illegal in all states except Nevada.
