Man replaces iPod batteries...blindfolded

Yeah, OK. Mark this under the "Pointless? Yes. Neat? Yes." column: MacDailyNews is running a story about Jamie Dresser, a crazed Other World Computing exec, who at the OWC booth at Macworld "performed a series of iPod battery replacements - fully blindfolded!" Mr. Dresser replaced the batteries of multiple iPods, including the photo, mini, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-gen models. The stunt was obviously to promote OWC's replacement batteries for the iPod -- and from the sounds of it, people were certainly enjoying the show.

I don't know what the big deal is, though, when you can pick up a pair of X-ray goggles from Amazon for dirt cheap. Some people just like the attention.

I installed the OWC iPod mini battery myself, and it was NOT easy to get open. Once it's open, the battery is pretty easy to install.

hey, the guy also slammed a 1.7ghz PowerLogix card and a Radeon 9000 into my cube without a proper cube power supply on hand!

Turns out they had some POS terminal that had an external power brick with the same specs and the same connector.
