iGadgets deserve to be blended :D

Jeez, have a sense of humor. Your average big budget summer blockbuster movie wastes countless more resources. This is just a drop in the bucket.
 
Loss of power

The reason the iPhone 4 took longer to blend than it's predecessors is clearly visible in the clip.

He's holding the blender too tightly around the bottom left corner, resulting in a loss of power.

Perhaps if he attaches a "Blender Bumper", normal operation would resume?

;-)
 
Wow.

It took quite awhile to blend, and even after, the steel band was intact. Nice.

Loved the Gizmodo dig.
 
Excellent - In a Monty Burns style.

I don't care Blendtec makes me laugh, for me it is as much a part of any Apple launch just like Kodawarisan, iFixit.com and Mr Jobs.
John :)
 
This makes me sick knowing iv'e had over 20 phone calls, been to three places, considered driving 3 hours to Dallas, and I wont get the new iphone until Tuesday. Plus I have to wake up at 5, to beat the competition, since they probably only have about 5.
 
+1

Do they also get angry at movies, shows or commercials that crash cars on purpose?

People that get angry at these must be really stupid. IT'S A COMMERCIAL! They spent $500 or so on that phone and they are getting a huge amount of hits on their website where they sell the blenders. It's basic advertising. They could never get this kind of traffic from banner adds or google addwords for the amount they spent on that commercial. It's pure genius.

Exactly. These aren't stupid rich kids purchasing stuff to destroy for their 2 minutes of fame on YouTube. They are selling their blenders and from what I hear, they are very profitable. Get a grip people.
 
If you can't laugh at this, there is something wrong with you... seriously, there is. Hilarious! Not to mention that at the end of the day, this is free advertising for apple, just adds to the hype. Calm down and enjoy a laugh!
 
It makes me sick. What a waste of a perfectly good iPhone 4. There are 1000s of people who'll take it and take better care of it than that.

Just an environmental waste.

His money dude.

These are part of the 'arch of events' that we have all come to love.
1. Leak(s)
2. Official announcement
3. Early reviews and first impressions
4. Tear Down
5. Overblown issues
6. Will it Blend
 
stupid

so, I think he should stick himself in that blender, in a Darwinian effort to save our race from more idiots like him.

idiot? really....i think you meant genius.

The amount of money he spent on the phone will bring in a lot of traffic to his site, and thus creating profit. Its pure genius....much better then google adsense. Cheap advertising with a punch.

In the end the money he spent will go to Apple....everyone wins.
Its 1 iPhone out of a million. Get over it.
 
My favorite Will-it-Blend yet (Still hard to watch with something so elegant). Next we should put all the people that get angry at this in the blender. Probably the same people who complain to the HOA for leaving my garbage can at the curb for more then two hours after I get home from work on garbage day. :rolleyes:

Classic response:

I loved that skit. Great advertising strategy.

Fixed.
 
There is something so satisfying watching the phone jump around in the blender, but at the same time, I kinda feel a little wrong inside (based on the fact that it's a new phone I think). It would be nice to see an android phone and an iPhone being blended at the same time..would good win over evil?!!!!

It is a genius idea, but it would be funny one day if it DIDN'T blend and the blender just chewed it's self up.

I think apple should design the next iPhone to be 'unblendable', now that would be a new feature. :D
