Sounds like a rock solid relationship there.
But hey, some of us can afford it. If I bought something worth $500 and broke it, I wouldn't be happy, but wouldn't care all that much either. $500 isn't some massive crazy amount of money to some of us.

Yeah I saw those stories too...crazy people. Although some of those folks did it for business reasons. Some company is making a break down of what exactly is in there and how much the parts are worth...that I can understand...but just destroying a $600 device 'just because'...crazy.
I just can't wait for people to start writing virus for the iPhone...that'll be great.

I have to agree that it's crazy to open up something that expensive and risk breaking it, but what's even more crazy is that your wife would actually leave you if you did it. :laugh2:
What does she do to you when you leave the toilet seat up?
danny_galaga:
other thsn the hammer guy, all the others are hackers. im surprised so many people on THIS forum of all places would frown on it!
ChadTower:
People who do that are doing it in the reverse engineering process. When you set out to reverse engineer something, especially something miniature, it is known ahead of time you're going to break one. Often times you break several, but in the process, with each one you get just a little bit further than the last time. Only the serious experts (we're talking EE PhD candidates) can get away with not breaking any. The guy who cracked the Xbox break any, I believe, but the hardware format on the Xbox was very easy, it was the security method that was hard. There are a number of really really good books on the subject. I really liked this one.
