Charlie Rose Bravely Smashes His Face To Save MacBook Air

“Viewers of the Charlie Rose show tonight were stunned to see the normally composed Rose looking like he’d just been in a bar fight. He has a very bad black eye and a bandage over part of his forehead. I contacted the show’s producers to hear what happened. Earlier today, they said, Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. “In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately,” they said. “

How to recycle an old sock (preferably clean!!) into an iPod cover. I doubt I’ll jump on this one, but I thought it was cute.
From Instructables:

“This is an instructable about how to build a homemade iSock. An iSock is an iPod cover that is basicly a sock to cover your iPod, that Apple came out with. If you have an old sock thats clean and dosn’t have holes in it, you can “recycle” it into an iSock.”

An old Mac obviously never gets useless.”
