Convert a SIM To a MicroSIM, With a Meat Cleaver 302
An anonymous reader writes "This morning, my shiny new iPad 3G 64GB arrived from the USA! The only problem was, it had an AT&T MicroSIM and as yet there is no such thing in the UK. So what's the solution? Get a chopping board, a meat cleaver, and a pair of scissors — simples!"

Apologies for the focus issues with my new Canon IXUS 210 - it is going back today!
Why send it back when you have such mad skillz at your disposal? What happened to your DIY attitude? Just fix that lens focusing issue with a sharpie and a plasma cutter!
This works for SD cards going into microSD slots as well--just chop them up. I also heard that if you cut Wii discs in a perfect circle down to GameCube size they will even play in GameCubes. Cutting things up until they fit solves all of life's problems. Steak won't fit in mouth? Cut it up! Square peg not going in round hole? Cut it up! Video too large for e-mail? Cut it up! Loud mouth neighbor too large for freezer? Cut him up!

You have violated the TOS you agreed to by opening the packaging. Please relinquish the device post haste. Failure to produce the device will result in you being thrown in the apple shark tank (also known as the limo the lawyers ride in).

Perhaps not the best home visit to make. Your intended victim:
a) has a meat cleaver, and
b) has demonstrated significant skill in its use.

Try cutting the people sending the bill instead of the bill itself!

I prefer using a lathe.
Then again, not everyone has access to one.

I read your comment as so:

- took me a while to come back into my senses after the cold feelings of horror have gone through my spine column and I forced myself to reread that statement.

I think that this should start a trend.
Clearly meat cleavers are the best way to deal with all Apple products.

No, no, no. The point of the MicroSIM is so that you can sneak it across the border in your sinus cavity to evade the authorities.
Oops. I've said too much. :-D
