Did anyone else notice the aerogel capacitor on the Xbox?

Why yes, of course I did. I thought that was the first thing everyone noticed.
This opportunity has allowed geeks with entirely too much time on their hands devote countless hours to very carefully breaking a very expensive children's toy.
I don't get why anyone would buy an X-box, and then have some major desire to break it open and modify it. They built it specifically to be able to support a specific range of games, and the software coders write their games specifically to interact with that hardware configuration. If the game writers wrote software requiring people to mod their EEPROM, it's at least good to know that this guy over at MIT would be in the running to buy it.
