Make the most of your CDs. If the In-Car Entertainment (ICE) industry gets its own way, playing CDs in a car will soon be a thing of the past.
Indeed Alpine has already revealed to the motor industry a non-CD music player, which instead is equipped with a USB port that enables music tracks to be outsourced. Expect car manufacturers to take note: a USB port weighs but a few grammes; a CD-player more than a kilo, and in the drive to save weight (and ultimately fuel consumption) a kilo is worth its weight in gold.
But what to do with all those unwanted CDs? There’s a website that offers ‘101 things to do with unwanted CDs’, most of which are predictable and boring, but one guy suggests sticking flies to them to make UFOs. His own experiment using 8 flies resulted in a flight time of 52 minutes. I believe he is an American.
Yes, I’m sure he is an American!
