In one of the most innovative re-purposings of audio content I've seen in awhile, Gizmodo announces the Hard Drive Dying Dance Track Contest. Come up with a track of at least three minutes that uses samples from one or more of Hitachi's audio files for troubleshooting dying hard drives.
As Hitachi explains, "If you are experiencing any of the noises, please contact technical support." You get to pick from "Head Stuck to Platter," "Slow Spindle Motor," and "Head Damage" (versions 1 through 4).
I was going to come up with a punchline for this, but the whole thing is sort of its own punchline.
