South African group\u00a0Bateleur<\/a>\u00a0decided that simply purchasing their latest album from iTunes was too easy. So, they took a Raspberry Pi, uploaded their album to it and set it to\u00a0transfer the files to a USB stick when a “secret whistle” was heard. They embedded the Pi inside\u00a0a semi-transparent fake rock shield and placed the package, that they’ve called “The Nest<\/em>“\u00a0<\/em>… wait for it… part-way down Table Mountain in Cape Town!<\/a>\u00a0If you forget your USB stick, you can also plug directly into the Pi and listen via the exposed headphone jack. You can see a video of how they did it below. Unfortunately, someone has since vandalised The Nest and it no longer functions. Apparently that seemed appropriate to somebody! \ud83d\ude41<\/em><\/p>\n
