Splayed out on an operating table with its innards on full display, Nexus Q loses all of it pop-art panache. But who can resist cracking open the ball to see what makes it tick?

We think so, and we thank Google for providing this exploded view as part of Wired's exclusive access to the Nexus Q project, which was announced Wednesday at Google I/O.
