If I had this book 10 years ago, the FBI would never have found me!” — Kevin 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

* Videophiles unite! Design, build, and configure your own Windows- or Linux-based Home Theater PC
