His noodly appendage touched my iPod

As a fan of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (that's FSM to true believers), I was delighted when TUAW reader Eric sent us this tip. GelaSkins sells adhesive iPod skins, including two of the FSM himself. In fact, they've got quite a nice collection of skins, all removable and made of high-quality vinyl. Skins are available for the iPod, iPod nano, iPod mini and 4G iPod. They all cost $14.95, and you get one free when you buy three.

Replace your iPod mini's battery



It is a fact, people love their iPod minis. Whether it is the various colors, or the solid feel of the body itself, iPod mini's will never go out of style. They will, however, eventually run out of juice. Luckily, Fstop Blues has posted a very detailed tutorial on how you can replace your iPod mini's battery yourself for about $30.

iPod Invisa for sale on Ebay

invisaqHey, the Steve Jobs skit that recently aired on SNL is finally funny! The all-new, ultra tiny iPod Invisa is for sale on Ebay. It measures 0.000000mm x 0.000000mm x 0.000000mm, weighs 0.000000oz (shipping weight 0.000001 oz), holds 8 million songs as well as every photo ever taken! Here it is pictured next to an iPod mini.

The funny part is that the auction is up to $50US (at the time of this posting) across 12 bids. It was a skit, people. If you're that eager to give up fifty bucks, I'll take it.

Optical mouse, 4GB iPod mini gone for good?

steve_parisIt's almost time for Mac Expo Paris, and you know what that means: The rumors are flying. To add to the fray, Apple Insider reports today that the Paris Expo may mean the end of the 4GB iPod mini and the optical Apple Pro Mouse. According to the article, Apple has canceled individual backorders for the Pro Mouse, and removed it from the online Apple Store. Additionally, some resellers seem to be having difficulty in restocking the 4GB iPod mini (making way for flash-based iPod minis?).

What bold predictions! No more low-end mouse and no more low-end iPod. Is it just me, or do the rumor sites seem to be much quieter than they were, say, before the Think Secret incident? I don't know if they're just more timid lately or if former sources have actually run dry. Either way, I like the silence. That way, Steve's "one more thing" is still a surprise.
