Stop Motion ModBook Video Shows Expensive Hack in Action
Wired: Gadget Lab —
Here's the way to get your ad shown free -- make it awesome. Here we see Tech Restore hawking its Modbook upgrade program, a $1150 service which adds a touch screen to your MacBook while simultaneously rendering it useless by removing the keyboard.
