break.com— If you've ever had a conversation with a Mac-owner about computers, you've probably wanted to explode a mac yourself. This is your chance to live vicariously through this video.

What a complete waste. Because he can afford repling a compouter doens't mean that the older one is garbage. I am sure there are a lot of kids that could have used that computer. Yeah, your a rich Douche
+1 for Apple making a fully recyclable computer just for it to be blown up by an idiot. Seriously. Why waste good hardware, that takes energy and resources to make, when there's still many viable uses for it. Give it to a hobo or something.
Yeah man I totally know what you are saying but their will always be idiots who error in the side of stupidity. Some of these people win darwin awards, others go to jail, and well some just show up for the part. With that said, I do like to blow things up but not expensive computers or laptops that are fully functional.
Agreed. This is stupid, ugly, and most of all, lame. I wish I could just take away the Internet access from these people so they will stop uploading dumb s**t like this and think they are cool.
Did he really call that a "high speed camera"? Sorry, it's not. Just because you can put it in slow motion does not make it a high speed. You want to see some real high-speed, watch Myth Busters.
Every time I see one of these (no matter what or whose products they're blowing up) I can't help but wonder where they get the money to do this stupid crap? I mean that was at least $1000 they just exploded for what? Two seconds of going "WHOA! We are SERIOUSLY cutting edge COOL!"
I suppose we did in some small way but clicking on it, but I won't buy from companies that advertise in that space purposely (obviously the drive-by ads from Google are exempt as the companies themselves aren't picking and choosing where the ads go). Destruction just for the sake of destruction is wrong
I have always found it ironic that while supposedly "hipsters" are the iconic "Mac Owner", it's more logical to say that Apple Haters are the real hipsters, considering Apple is the very definition of "popular" and "main stream" these days, the two concepts which define hipsterism by their rejection, unless of course they are trying to be ironic.
It is also amusing the sentiment about Mac owners being somehow less technically proficient compared to other types of computer users. Most Mac users are also Windows users, or at least have been in the past, and are unix users to some extent. Most Windows users only have experience with Windows, and couldn't tell you the difference between a BASH shell and a tarball.
When I am at any of the various datacenters I frequent, or at vendor training sessions (Cisco, Juniper, Citrix, SGI, etc), the majority of laptops I see are Macbook Pros. I assume this is due to the fact that OS X closely resembles the Linuxes and BSDs most syadmins and coders have been using for decades.
The makers of this video are spoiled douchebags no doubt.

2 billion people have less than 1$ a day to live for...so no...blowing up you old MacBook Air is not money well spent.

PS: I am aware I sound like my mother.

Agreed. As much fun as blowing stuff up is, there are plenty of better things to do than fragging new, expensive, and energy-intensive products.
brandonmayNov 7, 2010
Its not really new. It's the first gen Macbook Air
