Want your old iPod’s battery life to zoom up to 21 hours? Apparently, this $39 battery and five minutes with a nylon screwdriver can do the trick.

(Actually, five minutes with a nylon screwdriver can do a lot of tricks. But that’s neither here nor there.)

mine's rather busted as well, or so i've surmised from the little exclamation point that looks suspiciously like a pc error thingy ("thingy"... that's the technical term, right?). should the damn thing ever work again (although, hey, turns out i read lots more this way), perhaps i'll try the screwdriver trick.
