  Apple Headquarters Raided
  
  Cupertino, CA (AP)
  
  In response to recent news of the latest iPod developments, federal agents raided Apple Headquarters as part of an international drug bust. During the raid, 10,000 iPod Kilos were recovered. The contents of these white blocks have proven highly addictive, especially to teenagers and college students. What most students fail to realize is the dangers involved in being a regular 'user'.
  
  "Many of these kids turn the volume way too lound and actually damage their ears" one federal agent said, on condition of anonymity. "It's horrifying what this company tries to push off as 'harmless fun'".
  
  During the bust, executive ringleader Steve Jobs was arrested. It is believed that he abused his power in trying to control other markets.
  
  An RIAA spokesperson was available for comment: "It's great that they caught this guy--he was trying to regulate prices on our goods. Not only was he selling highly addictive material, but he used his influence to try to brainwash his followers into believing that it's OK to pay only $0.99 per song. Now that he's gone, we can start charging fair market value for songs."
  
  For concerned parents, please be aware of the following signs that your child may be using iPod Kilos:
  --a thin white line going up to each ear
  --difficulty hearing quiet noises
  --an unsightly bulge in your child's pant pockets
  --during normal conversation, your child prefixes normal words with the letter "i" as in "eating iDinner", "going on an iDate", and "driving an iCar"
  --using jargon associated with iPod Kilos, such as podcasting, iTunes, or Apple

It's good to see that more and more people are realizing that the Uncyclopedia is the true source for knowledge.

Much like the black widow, after the battery life of the Nano completely drains, the Maxtor Diamond will attempt to eat the iPod Nano for sustenance

One of my aims in life has been to construct a properly redundant RAID array of inexpensive disks - namely, floppy disks!

Floppy drives are really cheap at the moment, so it shouldn't be too difficult to build up a decent amount of storage. Also, it should be possible to build a custom interface so that the whole assembly can be connected to one of these modern iPod things - I'm guessing you could add several hundred megabytes of storage in this manner and still have something fairly portable.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to get this project off the ground, so to speak!

Does anyone know of a hack to get thet battery life on the 200Gb Nano up from 6-minutes? I'm thinking maybe a car battery could be used for power. Any thoughts?

It seems Uncyclopedia forgot to upgrade their server with a 200 Trilobyte WAN connection. You'd think they'd put their own good advice to use and avoid the Slashdot effect?

You mean "a properly redundant redundant array of inexpensive disks array of inexpensive disks"? Judging by your post here, you're well on your way to insanely redundant levels of insane redundancy....
