No, not the kind you’re thinking of…

Remember all the hype about the Juice Box Personal Media Player for kids a couple of years ago? Well, they didn’t do so well in the market place, but, now you can get them cheap at Overstock, though to get the ones that let you upload your own media, you’ll pay a little more. Why is that cool, you ask? Simple, according to Street Tech, they run a flavor of Linux and are hackable. And, based on my own, personal research, that seems to be true. You can load Linux on them and they sure seem hackable.

Hmm, cheap, hackable, Linux-based… I might have to get “hands-on” with this…
Well, I have to do something while I wait for my eyebrows to grow back in!
