FAIRFAX, Virginia (Wired News)
— Early one Sunday morning in 2002, a phone rings in Yu Ling’s Beijing
duplex. She’s cleaning upstairs; her son is asleep, while downstairs,
her husband, Wang Xiaoning, is on the computer. Wang writes about
politics, anonymously e-mailing his online e-journals to a group of
Yahoo users. He’s been having problems with his Yahoo service recently.
He thinks it’s a technical issue. This is the day he learns he’s

Update
for Mac OS X includes a number of fixes for zero-day vulnerabilities
released as part of two high-profile bug-hunting campaigns.

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be funny or not, but I found it funny myself.

1. Break it in half with your hands (very
easy to do) and use the glass viewing screen’s broken edge as a
razorblade to slice the jugular when they are looking the other way.

2.
Take off one sock (a dress or tube sock; pantyhose will work in a
pinch), place the Nano in the sock, swing it around as fast as you can
(being careful to not hit yourself), and whack the intended target
right on the temple.

3. Take the
reflective shiny part and catch the sun’s ray and shine it in a vehicle
driver’s eyes, or if you are at a rock concert and the lead singer is
prancing around on a center stage that protrudes into the audience like
a phallus, you can use the same technique.

4. The cord on the earbud headphones can be used to strangle someone. A knee in the back can give extra leverage.

5.
Dig a pit about 5 feet deep, then take about 15 3-foot-long stakes 2
inches in diameter and sharpen one end to a fine point, like a very
sharp pencil. Jam the sticks at least a foot into the ground, with the
sharp ends pointing up. Cover the hole with pine boughs, grass, and
leaves. Treat the Nano like a slice of cheese pizza in a deep, hot oven
and place it gently in the middle.

6.
Carefully unstaple a tea bag and pour the contents on a plate. Break
into the lithium-ion battery pack and saturate the tea with the
battery’s poison, then dry the tea in the sun (or with a hair dryer if
you are in a hurry). Put tea back in tea bag and bend the staple back
to its original position. Put the tea bag back where you got it.

7.
Download to the Nano "We’ve Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. Tell
someone you will give him or her your Nano if they listen to that song
a hundred times in a row.

8. Hide the Nano in a bowl of lutefisk, then take it to the annual Norsefest Lutefisk Eating Competition in Madison, Minnesota.

Humm…I guess I never thought of killing someone with an iPod Nano…..
