CVS Disposable Camcorder Hacked

ptorrone writes "We've been watching this on MAKE closely- and the king of the one-time digital camera hacks/analysis finally got his hands on a CVS Camcorder on Friday, the 24th via someone shipping him one FedEx. Within 18 hours, he had slurped the flash memory and has the unencrypted, XVID codec, 320x240, 30fps movies stored in the camera on his computer."

Getting a used Pure Digital / CVS Disposable Camcorder shipped to you... $15 dollars
Taking the day off work to be at home for the Fed-ex delivery... $140 dollars
Spending 18 hours hacking the camera for 30secs of video... Priceless!!!

Hacking Cameras...

... isn't nothing sacred anymore? The next thing someone will hack will be the Hubble Space Telescope.

Evidently, nothing is sacred anymore. Not even grammatical rules against double negatives in the English language.

If someone does, I want pictures of the first astromers to receive high resolution images of the C322-Goatse.cx black hole.

This will finally enable you to create your own cheap sextapes, without the chance that some curious CVS employee(s) will see your work..

And the fact that it only works for 30 seconds is perfect for Slashdot users!

It's 20 minutes - just enough for the foreplay ;)

I think we should boycott CVS too!

Subversion is the way forward!

Good thing this person isn't in high school

ExtraBucks are good on anything in the store excluding tobacco, alcohol and prescriptions.

But that doesn't leave anything! Hmmm .. wait, chocolate!

A good use for redundant statements: They're redundant. That is, if you say the same thing two or three different ways, they still all convey the same message.

Re:WTF is CVS?

[Anonymous Coward]

They're for taking CVS snapshots.

I can get a 16 ounce sh*t-flavored milkshake for $3, but with a little trick, I can turn that into a gallon. What a bargain, so long as I don't mind that it's still sh*t-flavored. If I want more sh*t-flavored goodness, then darn, I better learn the trick. If I want a milkshake that doesn't taste like sh*t, I think I'd better save my pennies.

<verifies that this isn't a children's message board>

Man, the marketing company that came up with a flavor called "sh*t" realls sucks. Honest, but I mean, wow.

Re:The blogging applications of this are endless.

Because blogs aren't gay enough already.

No kidding. I mean, I came across this one blog once that was just a whole ton of dorks sitting around talking about "penguins" (must be code for something) and "hacking" things...What a bunch of losers...
