<title>NeXTStation Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[NeXT Computer was founded in 1989 by Steve Jobs when he was forced out of Apple by John Scully.  He started NeXT as a high-end computer company targeted at the University/Scientist/Computing Industry.  NeXT only ever released two major computers, the NeXTStation, and The NeXTCube, in different variations. NeXT computers were high-end workstation computers, and only a few thousand were ever sold.  The NeXTStation featured a 25Mhz Motorola 68040 CPU, though the Turbo NeXTStation featured a 33Mhz 68040.  There were color and non-color variations of the NeXTStation.  The world's first web server was created by Tim Berners-Lee, at CERN on a NeXTCube.  NeXT computers were used to make games like Doom, and Wolfenstein.  This is my 25Mhz B&amp;W NeXTStation.  Mac OS X Is based off of NeXTStep, the NeXT OS.]]></description>

<title>Nerf N-Strike Maverick Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[It got too dangerous. Shots were fired. Eyes were almost lost. It was time to downgrade.

One of our iFixit programmers was notorious for using his Nerf WMD randomly on co-workers, with no forewarning nor regard for their safety. On one of these occasions, said co-worker shot me in the eye with one of the darts. Thankfully I was wearing my glasses, and a full-on beatdown was avoided.

In retaliation I brought my never-used soft air handgun from home. We had a couple of laughs, a couple of stings, but it was largely fine up until one day, when I was aiming for the co-worker's arm and shot him in the neck instead.

I was quite disappointed by the lack of accuracy, and thought it hypocritical of me to compromise others' safety, when my own was so crucial to me. So I authorized a purchase of up to TEN DOLLARS with The Wife, and set out to find the best Nerf gun available.

This is it: The Nerf N-Strike Maverick.

Needless to say, the gun looks goofy and child-like in its original paint scheme. We all know that yellow is the color of cowards, so I decided to paint my new office weapon. I was also curious as to what was inside, and lazy (I  wanted to paint both sides at the same time), so I torn'd this sucker down and took some pictures!

Enjoy!]]></description>
