iPod hacks aren't our usual fare here, but I can't help but point out this cool hack: a member of the iPodWizard.net forums has posted a short tutorial on hacking your iPod's (in his case a Nano) firmware to add custom icons to its on-screen menus. It's definitely not for the faint of heart (and will definitely void your warranty), but for the ultra-customizer this is a must-have hack.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I think the warning about voiding your warranty is a bit alarmist. It will not void your warrenty as you are doing nothing to the actual iPod, only the software on it. If something should go wrong, you simply restore your iPod with the iPod Updater, and your iPod is good as new (although without your music).

I think you should read your warranty a bit more closely, Mark: "This warranty does not apply: ... (c) to a product or a part that has been modified without the written permission of Apple."
As far as Apple's lawyers are concerned, modifying the firmware on your iPod is the same as modifying your iPod.
