Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection

Posted by Zonk on from the for-science dept.

starwindsurfer wrote to mention an Ars Technica review of the iPod nano in which they autopsy the cute little guy to find out what makes him tick. A more thorough review than the one we ran last week. From the article: "At this point we were astounded that the iPod nano was still working properly, albeit with a broken display. Because we had honestly expected the iPod nano to break by this time, we were forced to depart from our planned schedule of destruction and try and run over it with the car. Surely, we thought, it could never withstand the crushing power of German automotive engineering." Update: 09/12 14:58 GMT by Z : Changed linking words to previous article for clarity. Monday fuzziness.

      You aren't a subscriber... no star next to your name. subscribers can choose how many pages per day they view without ads... but the counter resets itself, so Slashdot is raking in the dough.

  4. Is autopsy the right word? by samkass · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "autopsy the cute little guy"

    I believe the term is "vivisect" unless the subject is already dead.
