A man has cre­ated a mag­netic iPod attach­ment within his own body. Dave Hur­ban, a 21-year-old pro­fes­sional body piercer from New Jer­sey, implanted four metal studs into his wrist and used them to secure his iPod to his body mag­net­i­cally. “I just invented the strap­less watch,” Hur­ban said, show­ing off his iPod which was set to dis­play the clock graphic. Hur­ban says he mapped out the four cor­ners of his iPod on his arm, and then put four tita­nium studs into his skin. Once that had healed he placed his iPod over it, let­ting it sit there mag­net­i­cally. He has posted a video of how to do it on YouTube. No word on what he plans to do if he ends up replac­ing his cur­rent iPod with a different-sized one.
