Prevent Your iPod from Being Stolen
I love my iPod as most that have them do. Unfortunately these very desirable pieces of technology are the target of thieves. Their portable generic nature making them that much easier to steal.
But we have found a solution. What do you do with something that is highly desirable and wanted gear? Easy, make it undesirable of course. In this case (pardon pun) dress your iPod up to be a Zune! Kind of like putting a wedding ring on your attractive younger sister or painting your Lear Jet pink.
Top idea, just not sure how it would work in principle. We all know that criminals are for the most part stupid and might not know the difference between a Zune and an iPod. The other thing is that you would have to replace those lily white head phones. But in principle nice idea.
Speaking of Lear Jets… has anyone seen ours?
Thanks to Wade for sending us this story! If you have something to share be sure to tag it on del.icio.us or Blue Dot with the tag “tggp” and remember we want the best stuff not all your stuff…

LMAO, wow. I think I maybe the only one who actually likes the Zune. Granted I don’t like the brown one but my black one has suited me pretty well. At any rate, this is pretty funny. Good find Wade.

LOL… I don’t know if a Zune will prevent theft… I think you’d have to dress it up like one of the old discman-sized Creative Nomad II’s.

My first MP3 player was the Creative Nomad Jukebox C Boy was that thing big. I still have it to. It offered 6 gigs of space and looked like a big cd player.
