Too blurry to see anything.  So that's not really any proof.


Anyway, even if wee assume your claim is true, and you actually managed to salvage your jewelry or whatever and get gold into your USB, that still doesn't explain like pretty much every other point listed... that is...


2.  You won't really be able to see that much speed improvements unless the whole path is gold, which it definitely isn't.
3.  5 minutes to do 1GB is fast now?  If you can't hit at least 20MB/s speed (which would let you do 1GB in less than a minute), either your flash drive has slow read/writes (slower than USB2's transfer speed allows), or you're on USB1, or you have serious other problems.
4.  I doubt your OS can down your USB copy speeds by as large an amount as you claim (more than 5x compared to normal).  Copying speeds should be mostly hardware dependent.
5.  And even if it is software dependent like you claim, why the hell are you modding the hardware to remedy that?


Which would mean you wasted a lot of time and effort and money for tiny/no gains that can be achieved in a much more cost effective fashion.

true, but maybe he just likes modding and that's the real reason for all this. i mean, i could come up with lots of lame reasons as to why i put a clear faceplate on my ipod, but in the end, it really comes down to "it looks cool"
