iPod table... and more bootlegging / modding

iPod table and more bootlegging and modding in this funny article on designboom.com

bootlegging - historically a pseudonym for illegal liquor-making, was later also used for unauthorized recordings of music.
today, ‘bootleg’ is one name for the musical style of recombination, of mashing up pop music pieces (preferably done undercover)
of the most disparate origins. diluting and revamping, carelessly sampling objects.
its iconoclastic deconstruction. the subject of this manner of designing no longer is – as traditionally – interrelating form to function,
but rather a positioning into a target context by ‘meta-design-decisions’ as the rearrangement of the found objects.

modding - is a term shortening modification. some creative, but bored computer dudes were sitting around talking shop
when a freak accident with an innocent tool left a gaping hole in the side of an equally innocent PC. the cutout showed off the
geek stud innards of a high performance box. a number of pc, robot, toy and other products have been modified since.
