Add flash memory to your iPod
So let's say you've got an iPod with a dead hard drive. You could install a replacement hard drive,* sure, but the fun would be converting it to Compact Flash. However, you aren't up to hacking together your own solution, no matter how detailed the instructions are. This post is for you.Mark at GeekTechnique.org has created an adapter that will allow you to put a Compact Flash card - up to 128GB - into a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or fourth generation iPod, and he's selling them from his site. Of course, his solution eliminates the hard drive, which improves battery life. He doesn't mention how much he wants for one, so you'll have to send him an email. Still, it could be a fun weekend project.

I'm not sure why your iPod needs a screensaver, or whether this particular effect can really be called a screensaver, but since several of you have sent us this tip, there must be some interest in it!
