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.)

I'd settle for my old ipod (Blaine) to just work again...

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.
