an iPod story

A story on NewScientist.com tells the story of a teenager bent on installing Linux on his 4th Generation (4G) iPod. He eventually got the device to tell its booting story through clicks (using the "click" of the click wheel), and then decoded the clicks with another computer. I can't imagine wanting to spend so much time on this, but I'm glad there are people out there who will do the dirty work for me!
