4/2/2008 - iPod with NES controller

As much as I respect the geeks out there who produce these creative mods of tech products, sometimes I think they're nuts. I mean, it's great being able to show off all these skills, but isn't there a more practical way they can contribute to society? Take this mod, for example. It's the coolest thing, alright: an iPod with Linux installed just so it can play a modified version of Doom. But that's not the extent of the mod. They took a regular old NES controller and added an iPod docking port to it so it can control your character in Doom!



As impressed as I am with this, I can't help but think that it's not going to win the Nobel Prize for engineering.
