Juicebox Hacking

magic_user writes "Now that Mattel's JuiceBox can be had for $12 (Target, WalMart), this seems like a perfect toy for hackers. I've found a picture frame hack but what I'm really looking for is a way to play my own videos on it. It runs uclinux so this shouldn't be too hard, right? "

hacking?

I wouldn't exactly call it "hacking," but I've been modding juiceboxes for years. All it involves is a straw...

Have you ever noticed what color the hole that you stick the straw is? Silver. That's right. It's tinfoil.

There's something in these "juiceboxes" that they don't want us to know about, and someday our meddling with juiceboxes with straws will get us in trouble...

I modded my juice box in highschool.

The goal was to make the drink still cold for my long bus ride home in the afternoon. Even when I froze the drink, it got warm sitting in my locker. I started by making a form-fitting styrofoam cooler out of left-over packing material. The walls were probably 1/4" thick. Result: cool, but not ice-cold. So, on my second try, I found some thicker sytrofoam (1/2-3/4") and built a box out of that. Result: still frozen solid - success! Of course I couldn't drink it, but that wasn't the point...

In the words of Meatwad...

I'm 25, and she's 11.

You should be able to take her in another year or so, if you train hard.
