in addition to the many other problems with this that have been posted like, most people playing really loud music in a car are using a CD player and the iTrip cant overpower a radio station that is tuned in well, there is another problem.
unless you can see into the other person's car and see the radio station they are tuned into, its gonna be a real pain to go through a bunch of stations on your iTrip to try to figure out which one they are listening to. Chances are the person bothering you will be long gone before you can figure this out. Plus because this so called "hack" doesn't increase the iTrip's broadcasting power, just its range (and only slightly) you might never be able to find out what station tehy are on because as stated elsewhere, the main radio station will probably overpower the iTrip.
I think someone was just really excited that they found an antenna under the 'special tape' and this was a way to let everyone know about it.
another big problem is that in digi-cameras where the viewfinder is optical (not a small screen inside the viewfinder like a camcorder) what is seen through the finder is often different from what is recorded by the ccd (or cmos). this can lead to compositional errors that are not fully the fault of the user.
i guess most people with consumer digi-cams use the lcd anyway, so this may not be as a big a problem as it could be.
american beers are best drunk cold because the standard american ale is gross, or at least fairly flavorless. the only way to get it down is to have it highly carbonated and ice cold.
other beers with real flavor are better warm and less carbonated because they actually taste good!
also, beer that you have 'warm' doesnt mean room temperature, just like wine served at room temp isnt supposed to be 71 deg. F. its more like 62 degrees. it makes a big difference. ask any barkeep at a good london pub.
Wow. Throw one of those around a keg, put the keg on a Radio-Flyer (or other form of acceptable wagon) along with a car battery and inverter and you've got yourself a keg party to go. Now we just need to do something about those damn open container laws we have in the states.
(Maybe some shock absorbers on the wagon too, you know, to keep the foam down.)
