If your Time Capsule is among the recently deceased, don't toss it just yet. The folks at Instructables have published photos of a dead Time Capsule that's been converted into a quite handsome gift box. The process looks like it was simple enough: Just remove the guts (here's how to get inside one), insert some attractive felt and a meaningful photo. Next, re-connect the top and bottom with simple hardware store hinges and you've got a gift box designed by Apple in California. Sort of.We love to see hardware re-purposed in clever and novel ways, especially broken bits that would typically occupy a landfill. For instance, check out the G4 mailbox and the ever-popular Macquarium. Old laptops can always become digital picture frames. The grandparent set loves these.
