Torrent description

"If I had this book 10 years ago, the FBI would never have found me!"--Kevin D. Mitnick

This book has something for everyone--from the beginner hobbyist with no electronics or coding experience to the self-proclaimed "gadget geek." Take an ordinary piece of equipment and turn it into a personal work of art. Build upon an existing idea to create something better. Have fun while voiding your warranty!

Some of the hardware hacks in this book include:
* Don't toss your iPod away when the battery dies! Don't pay Apple the $99 to
replace it! Install a new iPod battery yourself without Apple's "help."
* An Apple a day! Modify a standard Apple USB Mouse into a glowing UFO Mouse or build a FireWire terabyte hard drive and custom case.
* Have you played Atari today? Create an arcade-style Atari 5200 paddle
controller for your favorite retro videogames or transform the Atari 2600 joystick
into one that can be used by left-handed players.
* Modern game systems, too! Hack your PlayStation 2 to boot code from the memory card or modify your PlayStation 2 for homebrew game development.
* Videophiles unite! Design, build, and configure your own Windows- or
Linux-based Home Theater PC.
* Ride the airwaves! Modify a wireless PCMCIA NIC to include an external antenna connector or load Linux onto your Access Point.
* Stick it to The Man! Remove the proprietary barcode encoding from your CueCat and turn it into a regular barcode reader.
* Hack your Palm! Upgrade the available RAM on your Palm m505 from 8MB to 16MB.
...Many more hacks and modifications inside!
