Ars Technica Vivisects A Video iPod

phaedo00 writes "The guys over at Ars Technica have put together another one of their infamous reviews. This time they tackle the video iPod and give it a proper review, complete with vivisection and a discussion of the guts." From the article: "It wouldn't be an Ars iPod review without a dissection (or in this case, a vivisection since the patient survived) and discussion. Talking about what changes were made on the exterior of the device is fine and well, but the real interesting stuff--to me anyways--is found within. As the old adage says, 'it's what's on the inside that counts.' With that, I'm dismantling this iPod in the name of science. All went well: I was able to put to back together and it's working fine." An interesting counter-point to previous coverage.

I love it! Instead of discussing the topic of the post, which is a review of the Video iPod and to some extent it's innards, you're harping about their use of the words "dissection" and "vivisection" when describing their actions of "disassembling" the device.

Only on Slashdot... :-)
