Juicebox Hacking

magic_user writes "Now that Mattel's JuiceBox can be had for $12 (Target, WalMart), this seems like a perfect toy for hackers. I've found a picture frame hack but what I'm really looking for is a way to play my own videos on it. It runs uclinux so this shouldn't be too hard, right? "

hacking?

I wouldn't exactly call it "hacking," but I've been modding juiceboxes for years. All it involves is a straw...

Humor just isn't appreciated I guess.MOD PARENT UP

Have you ever noticed what color the hole that you stick the straw is? Silver. That's right. It's tinfoil.

There's something in these "juiceboxes" that they don't want us to know about, and someday our meddling with juiceboxes with straws will get us in trouble...

I find that they are far too mission specific to be of any real-world use. Half the time you open them up and find nothing more than a chip, small PCB, and some epoxy holding the whole thing together

Well there goes MY hopes and dreams of a Furby Robot Army of DOOOOOOM.

My wife says that her mother was constantly warning her against the evils of messing with her juicebox.

I'm 25, and she's 11.

You should be able to take her in another year or so, if you train hard.

Maybe my modding is a bit more advanced then yours, but it involves a funnel and some vodka.

Either that, or I'm an alcoholic. You decide.

The straw??? Now you tell me! I've been lifting up one corner flap and chewing it off to get to the juice...

I modded my juice box in highschool.

The goal was to make the drink still cold for my long bus ride home in the afternoon. Even when I froze the drink, it got warm sitting in my locker. I started by making a form-fitting styrofoam cooler out of left-over packing material. The walls were probably 1/4" thick. Result: cool, but not ice-cold. So, on my second try, I found some thicker sytrofoam (1/2-3/4") and built a box out of that. Result: still frozen solid - success! Of course I couldn't drink it, but that wasn't the point...

The screen can only handle a wopping 6fps.

Looks like it has double the framerate needed to play anime then...

This is a perfect example of why you should always quote all the way up the chain to the very top-level parent. I'm browsing at +4, and dude, that sounded SICK SICK SICK.
