B&N Nook Successfully Opened

garg0yle writes "A team has managed to open the Barnes and Noble Nook e-reader, gaining full access to the operating system. From the article: 'The Nook is now a computer running a full Android operating system, with a built-in, free cellular connection to the internet. It also has a battery that lasts days, not hours.' They are documenting their progress on the Nook Devs wiki."

I used to date a girl who called her pussy a "nook." I succesfully opened it many times :)

Along most of the American eastern and southern coasts, the word "nook" is slang for "vagina". That's why sex is sometimes referred to as "nookie".

So it's funny that these unlocked systems are leaving their ports wide open, ripe for molestation by intruders across the globe.

Will it be a free drink? Or does the preceding '$' indicate they will have to pay for it? Using variable notation gives you plausible deniability...

Just don't power-cycle the thing...

If you're dealing with the Nook and you power cycle without properly shutting down, you can expect a visit from Mr. Resetti... Those are never fun.
