It looks like the exploding Macbook cake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgBHI5xt7Yk) that I made for the Engadget birthday cake contest was relevent after all--there have been a bunch of articles about exploding Apple products since the contest ended.

That looks great! You're right, frosting is a very good fire retardant.

I decided to post a video of the detonation of my creation at Google Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-369196843835058102. Having the opportunity to make this cake was a godsend as it kept me sane through a family emergency. One of my immediate family members became critically ill on Tuesday, but I couldn't fly to visit her until the next day. I chose to distract myself by making the cake on Tuesday night. Making pyrotechnic cakes could be a legitimate form of therapy--I wonder what Dr. Phil would think about that?

I can't wait to see the results of this year's cake contest--there's bound to be some really good ones this year.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
