In its usual style, the site  gently dissected the world's best-known Android game console,  commenting on "a very clean and simple layout." Overall, the splaying  seemed to happen with little to no fuss, with the fan being the only  modular (and moving) component in the entire thing. All told, the OUYA  notched a 9 out of 10 on the all-important Repairability Meter, aided by  the fact that only standard-head screws were used, and that no abstract  glues or other black magic was used while piecing it all together.  You'll definitely want to give the source link a look if you're yearning  for more eye candy.<br />  	   	  	 </div></div>

Oculus Rift gets torn down by iFixit, adds high repairability to its kudos list

The teardown reveals as tidy-ooking a design on the  inside as the exterior, and iFixit said that it couldn't have been  easier to do. The only minor hitch was cables held together by tape  which would likely need to be replaced in the event of any surgery on  the Rift. It's hard to say whether that ease of access will remain with  the final production model, but the way that Oculus has gone about its  business so far, we wouldn't be surprised. Check the step-by-step  process for yourself at the source.<br />           </div></div>

iFixit breaks open an HTC One, literally

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="iFixit breaks open an HTC One, literally" data-src-height="442" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/3-28-2013htconeifixit.jpg" /></div>Considering its sleek, primarily aluminum construction we never thought the HTC One was going be easy to crack open. But, it seems not even iFixit  was completely prepared for the challenge of picking one apart. Since  there are no screws used in the construction of the body, the fearless  hackers needed to turn to a heat gun, a suction cup and a metal spudger  to gain access to the internals. Underneath the swaths of aluminum and  glass it turns out most of the components are covered in foil-like  copper shielding that is quite difficult to deal with. There are a few  screws inside, however, like the pair of fasteners that connect the  2,300mAh battery's cable to the motherboard. In the end, iFixit handed  the One its namesake on the repairability scale -- meaning this sucker  is practically  impossible to pull apart and reassemble. To see the complete and  careful destruction of HTC's latest flagship hit up the source.<br />           </div></div>
