Hide-a-Pod
Someone with a vicious sense of humor has given a solid kick in the gut to Microsoft, creating a fake website selling brown Zune casings as security disguises for your iPod or iPhone. The idea being, of course, that the thieves who would rip off your iPod or iPhone in an instant would stay miles away from you if they saw you with a brown Zune. So this imaginary entrepreneur bought scads of brown Zunes at dirt-cheap prices, primarily from kids who got them as birthday presents from clueless adults, and converted them into empty casings to hold your Apple device. Presto! No one will bother stealing your music now!
There’s a lot more humor in the site which rips the Zune pretty solidly (“We leave the Zune’s wifi circuitry in place, but disconnected. It will then work just about as well with your iPod as it does with a regular Zune.”), and when you try to “buy” one, the site says that it’s trying to connect to Microsoft’s servers… and then you get a growing list of endless error messages.
Wicked.
