Science Project: Run World of Warcraft on an iPod

Someone with an iPod seems to have gotten the nifty idea to load up their WoW game folder onto an iPod, and tried running the game:

Having just bought a new generation ipod. I decided to experiment and find out what more can I use my ipod for. And since I am a Wow addict I thought it would be funny to have it on my Ipod to play at school or at work computers.

Now it's actually really easy to make it all work. All you really have to do is copy your World of Warcraft directory over from your pc to the Ipod when it's in the disk mode. Now you will be able to play it just like that, or if you want more functionality you might want to add and install portableapps.com software and have additional software like 0pen 0ffice, Gimp, Firefox and many more. Also it's really easy to add the Wow icon to the menu in the portableapps all you have to do is copy the Wow directory over to the portable apps data directory on the drive after you install it. This whole setup should not take more then seven gigabytes of space, and thats including all of the addons and patches.

I hope this helps you continue your addiction at different places like school and work, and public computers.

Now to find someone to lend me their iPod, and check it out, for science!

HOAX!!!! Is it April Fool already?

Well, until I get an iPod that someone doesn't mind blowing up in the experiment, or someone posts a link to someone who has tried and failed, I guess it's still March 31st.
