    I doubt that will happen anytime soon because ipods use a 1.8" drive manufactured by Toshiba. And currently the largest 1.8" drive made by them is 30gigs and the largest 2" drive is 80gigs.

    Why not use an iPod? You can store more than just mp3s on these things. It charges off the firewire port. very small. and it plays music. :)

  13. YEY! NO DUST! on Zalman TNN 500A - Complete Heatpipe Cooled Case · · Score: 1

    I BIG advantage to this is.. IT WON'T GET FILLED WITH DUST! Dust is a conductor of electricity.. too much dust can clog fans and make your computer act really strange. A big problem with on site retail network servers is.. nobody ever dusts them.. When I was working for CVS part of my kit was a can of air.. I used it all up the first day. So every store I went to I had to commission a can of air off the store shelf.. one day I was at a store that didn't have any cans of air left.. so I had to use a blowdryer.. Anyhow.. I think this case is great.. no little windows or any of that fun stuff.. just a nice sturdy case.. and it's from germany.. They do a pretty good job at making sturdy cars too.

  17. I washed it in the washing machine. on Where Has Your Cell Phone Been? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to have a Nokia 8290. TINY little phone. I came home from work to change clothes becaus I had been climbing around on rooftops setting up a 802.11b building to building wireless network. So I was in a rush to change/shower and get back to work. I threw me dirty clothes in the dryer and left to work. Once I got back to work and went to search for my cellphone because I used it to keep all my contacts, I realized it was missing. Then I realized where it was! It was probably mid spin cycle at home! So I left work and rushed home to see if I could save the phone. It was SOAKED, but very clean now. I took the thing apart.. every little peice. dried them off with a towel and let them lay on the counter top for a few days.. I put the sim card in my backup phone, a Nokia 3390, and it worked just fine.. I hated that 3390! There is no "Decline call" option when someone is calling you.. All you can do is turn off the phone! Anyways.. 3 days later I reassembled the 8290, swaped the sim card back into it.. and it worked just fine. Very clean too. This was 2 years ago and the phone is still in operation. A friend of mine has it now.

  19. GSM worldphone/digital camera solution on Cybercafè Travel Kit? · · Score: 1

    How about a device that allows you to take the pictures and then upload them from anywhere? The Nokia 3650 is a GSM 900/1800/1900 phone with a built in digital camera. The image resolution is only 640x480 but that is more than enough for a webpage. I beleive you can upload your images to a website on nokia.com where you friends and family can view them. Another nice feature about the phone is it has bluetooh. A bluetooth pda with a compact flash socket would be great for getting those high resolution images from your digital camera and you could just leave the phone in your pack and use it to connect to the internet to upload the photos. You can also upgrade the memory on the phone with a 64MB memory card.

  23. How to retaliate on How to Become A Spammer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Here is an idea.. Whenever you get spam mail (the real kind that comes in your mailbox). Take those business reply mail envelopes and fill them with all the spam you can, and send it back. The heavier, the better. I have a few friends that do this. It helps out the postal service by giving them more money and it helps you to get your point across about the junk mailings.
