More a visual joke than a real working hack, Faraiq’s Apple Walkpod is just an iPod cracked open with a cassette tape stuffed inside, but as a comment on the history of portable music, it is priceless.
It encompasses everything: Size, both physical and metaphorical (inches vs. gigabytes); business (Sony vs. Apple) and society (buying music vs. copying it). Even the choice of tape is part of the gag: “Forever Changes”, Love’s 1967 album , which was re-released this year.
