Listen, that isn't just black dust, that the essence of a dark matter borne from the thrashing coils of a fear engine tearing asunder an unholy false idol upheaved from the gaping maw of a turtlenecked beast after consuming the tortured souls doomed to a depraved religion based on fruit.

I don't know. The wanton destruction of an item that showcases conspicuous consumerism at it's finest? Our society can waste such things for the benefit of finding out if it blends? I worry about the world sometimes.
Blenders are supposed to make things like fruit smoothies. The blending ultimately makes energy more available to people who need it the most.
But the iPod? It's like, "oh, I have so much money I can pander to the desires of the masses. I have two. Screw you third world that might benefit from the nurturing nutrients that might be gotten if my blending technology were to be applied to stave off world hunger."
Unless people take the blending to be a thumbing of the nose at the products of a capitalist society, I don't know how I can feel comfortable viewing this youtube link again.

Though I am more enamored with the concept of the iPhone than the prospect of actually possessing one for myself, that was physically painful to watch.
I'm sure that in two years something similar (though not nearly as graphic) will happen to virtually every iPhone in existence today, as service contracts will be up and the next new thing will be three generations ahead. But the gratuitous immediacy of this wanton cycle of consumption and abandonment/destruction shines a bright light on the vulgarity lurking in the shadows of commoditized desire.
Or perhaps it's no more obscene than making a milkshake and I'm just a wanker.

When the iPhone came out there were a surprising number of people destroying them, mostly by dissasembly but also by dropping them. In fact, I read more links about destroying the damn thing than I saw about how well it worked.
It's like we're into a new phase of loving technology. Now we're treating it bad. People love the iPhone to such a high degree that they secretly hate it too because it can never live up to their expectations. It's like people in an abusive relationship: "I only beat her because I love her so much, officer!".

Wikipedia is particularly bad for this. Getting a new article up online is fucking hard work nowadays, because an army of people will attempt to get it taken down for various spurious reasons. Even editing a document is getting difficult.

It's pretty simple. Will It Blend? has been here before. The objection to my position seems to be that this is a new video that features *gasp* THE IPHONE.
So either it's yet another iphone post, of which we have enough, or it's another video from blendtec, which has been here before.
If the former, you can go to digg for every monotonous iphone post, I hear they're good at that. If the latter, we don't need to post every new video that blendtec makes.

You could take all of Apple's profit from 2006 and send it to Africa to help ease the situations in the various war-torn regions, but it wouldn't fix it (it would end up in the hands of the warlords).
You can't stop genocide with money. You can't fix the problems in the poorest regions of the world until you can stabilise the security, get everyone healthy and educate everyone (especially all the women and children). Money, on its own, won't do any of those things. It will take massive will and human effort, and no one wants to give those things, least of all Americans.
You can go back to talking about telephones now.

It appears that you can blend coins but not bills? What's up with that?
Other technical questions:
From 0:00 to 0:36 it appears to just be the phone.
Returning from the instant replay, from 0:56 to 1:00 it appears to be liquid- is that an optical illusion?
At 1:01 there is a cut and now the whole thing turns black, presumably dust.
Then when he dumps everything out, what's that big metal thingy?

After the first time BlendTec was linked to here and I saw those videos, I seriously wanted one of those blenders, even though they're super expensive (several hundred dollars or something like that). But, hell, those fuckers can do anything you would ever actually want to do with a blender and do it quickly and make stuff as super smooth as you want. It makes me want a whole kitchen full of "super appliances". Like a gigawatt microwave oven. A can opener that laser cuts off the top of a can in a half-second. A dishwasher that blasts really dirty dishes clean and dry in 30 seconds. Stuff like that.

Outside of the explosion risk I think "blending" a Lithium-Ion Polymer battery would be quite poisonous. Those eye protectors wouldn't do much for that. Notice how in the beginning of the video it gets kind of "greasy." I actually think they may have done some editing trickery because of this. I don't think it would be remotely safe to "pour" out a pulverised battery.

I wouldn't consider this "geek apogee" until the guy blends another blender while that blender is blending a blender! This thread is useless without recursion.

Upton - hilarious, if you follow the seller's history you will see the purchase of an iphone on ebay.

I wish the Will-It-Blend guy would invest in a nice high-speed camera system.

Ok, I'm a very cheap (READ: poor) bastard, but I would pay to see this.
Also, I would pay to see the video of it happening on an apple iPhone/Pod that was itself being blended.

In the last MeFi thread on this blender guy there were several comments on one of the intro montages where he appears to be blending a crowbar. We now see via YouTube that he only pretends he's going to blend a crowbar, but aborts mission and blends some cell phones instead.
Verdict: The Blendtek 9000 does not have the hairy man balls to blend a crowbar. This is simply not the kind of mincing, nancy appliance I want in my household getting its estrogen all over my dangerously masculine piña coladas and fruit smoothies.

That crowbar video was a tease, but the line at the end was great.
