Eight Ways To Kill Someone Using An iPod Nano
Just in case your would be attacker gets too close…
————-
EIGHT WAYS TO KILL SOMEONE BY USING AN IPOD NANO,
ACCORDING TO EX-MARINE BRAD COLLUM.
1. Break it in half with yourhands (very easy to do) and use the glass viewing screen’s broken edgeas a razorblade to slice the jugular when they are looking the otherway.
2. Take off one sock(a dress or tube sock; pantyhose will work in a pinch), place the Nanoin the sock, swing it around as fast as you can (being careful to nothit yourself), and whack the intended target right on the temple.
3. Take thereflective shiny part and catch the sun’s ray and shine it in a vehicledriver’s eyes, or if you are at a rock concert and the lead singer isprancing around on a center stage that protrudes into the audience likea phallus, you can use the same technique.
4. The cord on the earbud headphones can be used to strangle someone. A knee in the back can give extra leverage.
5. Dig a pit about 5feet deep, then take about 15 3-foot-long stakes 2 inches in diameterand sharpen one end to a fine point, like a very sharp pencil. Jam thesticks at least a foot into the ground, with the sharp ends pointingup. Cover the hole with pine boughs, grass, and leaves. Treat the Nanolike a slice of cheese pizza in a deep, hot oven and place it gently inthe middle.
6. Carefullyunstaple a tea bag and pour the contents on a plate. Break into thelithium-ion battery pack and saturate the tea with the battery’spoison, then dry the tea in the sun (or with a hair dryer if you are ina hurry). Put tea back in tea bag and bend the staple back to itsoriginal position. Put the tea bag back where you got it.
7. Download to theNano “We’ve Only Just Begun” by the Carpenters. Tell someone you willgive him or her your Nano if they listen to that song a hundred timesin a row.
8. Hide the Nano in a bowl of lutefisk, then take it to the annual Norsefest Lutefisk Eating Competition in Madison, Minnesota.

Remote L.A. to N.Y. with Timbuktu and Skype
I got a frantic call from my wife who’s visiting my sister in NY. It seems her iBook has that forever spinning wheel we’ve all had to face at some point or another. After talking to her, I deducted it was a corrupt image in her iPhoto library. Probably from her last import. It’s happened twice before. The problem is that although she’s a digital lifestyle junkie, she relies on me to fix any technical issues and I’m in LA. So I venture out online to see if I can tap into her computer remotely and was delighted to find out Timbuktu’s new Skype ‘tunnel’ feature. The New Timbuktu Pro uses Skype’s connection to pass through routers and firewalls and establish a direct connection. In the past, you could only connect remotely if you had a static IP address, something most people don’t have. Best of all, you can connect to a Mac or a PC.
So here’s a tutorial on how to connect remotely to another computer over the internet with Timbuktu and Skype.
THE TIMBUKTU AND SKYPE TUTORIAL
Step 1: Get Timbuktu and Skype
Step 2: Set up Timbuktu to use Skype
Step 3: Add new buddy to Skype
Step 4: Connect to Remote Computer
Conclusion
↑ Step 1: Get Timbuktu and Skype
Both local and remote computers need to have the latest version of Timbuktu Pro and Skype.
Download a trial or buy from Netopia.com. Licenses go for about $100 per computer. A multi-platform version is available. Skype users get a $40 discount.
Download the latest Skype version at Skype.com. It won’t work with an old version. Skype is free, at least for what we need to do with it.
↑ Step 2: Set up Timbuktu to use Skype
Make sure both applications are installed and running on both computers. In the remote computer, go up to the Timbuktu Pro menu item and select “Timbuktu access via Skype.”
↑ Step 3: Add new buddy to Skype
You might skip this step if you already use Skype and have each other in the buddy list. If not, from the main Skype window in the local computer, select “Add” an enter the remote computer’s Skype username. Once added, the user will become available in Skype’s contact list.
↑ Step 4: Connect to Remote Computer
From Timbuktu Pro, select ‘File > New Connection’.
From the new connection window, select the Skype tab, then select the remote user from the list. Make sure that the user has a check-mark in the green icon and the word ‘yes’ in the ‘Timbuktu?’ column. It will not work otherwise. The check-mark means the user has a compatible version of Skype and is logged in. The ‘yes’ means the user has ‘Timbuktu access via Skype’ selected as we did in step 2.
From the Timbuktu top menu select ‘Service > Control’ to connect to the remote user’s computer. This will give you a new window for you to choose how to connect to the remote user. My only available option was to ask permission, which prompted my wife asking her if I can control her computer.
Once the remote user grants you permission, you can gain access to their computer and save the day.
↑ Conclusion
This system is very easy to set up. However, I was stuck with a skype user that had the word ‘no’ in it and I couldn’t connect right away. I looked in Timbuktu’s help documents and website but they didn’t have any mention on how to make the user be accessible through Skype. Eventually I stumbled on the menu bar item and discovered that was my missing step. Seems easy enough, but they could have saved me an hour if they mentioned it in their documentation.
My remote desktop experience was very slow. I will move a window and wait for it to redraw like I did back in the 56k modem days. But that really has to do with the internet bandwidth than the actual application.
It would be unfair to compare Apple’s Remote Desktop to Timbuktu Pro since they really target different markets. Apple’s Remote Desktop is for local network administrators whereas Timbuktu Pro is for cross-platform remote connections. I’ll admit, $200 for 2 licenses is no walk at the park, but it might be invaluable for a lot of people. Besides, it’s a good thing when you can help people you care about but are too far away to pay them a visit.

Some of the sweetest rainbow pics Ive ever seen
Check out these pics from MissouriSkies.org. Ive never seen a rainbow end in a visible spot like these do. Click on the thumbnails for the full images.
“On this day a rare February Rainbow was seen here in Northern Missouri at sunset. This rainbow was visible over much of the area and was noticed by many people. It was seen as a partial bow in some areas and completely full and even double in others depending on where the rain was falling.”

Caparo T1 official debut
Holy shit. A 1100 pound car with 3g’s cornering AND can go 500 miles on a tank of gas on the highway….sign me up!
“The ultra lightweight T1, which weighs less than 500kg, is a British designed 2-seater which has been developed using aerospace and high formula racing technology. The compact V8 engine develops approximately 500 hp and the resultant 1,000 hp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio enables the T1 to accelerate form 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and to from 0 to 100 mph in less than 10 seconds making it the world’s fastest accelerating and braking road car.
It is also fast round corners with 3g braking and cornering ability equivalent to a Le Mans Prototype. The T1’s high power-to-weight ratio delivers phenomenal performance on the track. Similarly, the same principles of lightweight design in a car one-third the weight of the average family saloon combined with a normal 15 gallon (70-litre) fuel tank means a range better than the average car of up to 500 miles (800km) on public highways.”
