VIDEO: New iPad 3G Gets Nuked Inside Microwave
The iPad is not microwavable.
The launch of the iPad 3G wasn't as hyped as the launch of the original WiFi version but a lot of people rushed out to buy one on Friday afternoon. What all those people did with their new devices when they got it home, we don't know. We do know that at least one new iPad owner took his tablet home and threw it in the microwave.
It's a 64GB 3G model so you're looking at over $829 just to make a piece of art called the eyePad. Still, it's fun to watch. The audio for this video isn't exactly important and the whole process is kind of slow but it's worth it for the fire at the end. After he was done nuking it, artist Kenny Irwin encased the gadget's remains, along with a fake eyeball, in museum quality resin and listed it on eBay. The listing has ended but the place holder page shows that the reserve was not met. The final bid was $132.49.

VIDEO: iPad gets show from modified rocket launcher into boiling water
cool video but holy crap the narrator is annoying
This is the kind of crApple news I can sit back and enjoy!
yet another thing the iPad cannot do, don't cry Stevey its ok.
This is news?!? What a waste of time...
That ipad is very well done. just the way i like to eat it!
art sale FAIL
Apple haters, lol. Better ways to spend $699 imo. Would get you a more productive ati 5970 in my world or 2 5870s in crossfire for a 2560 x 1600 setup. Or a house payment, car note you name it.
that's like when the execution goes wrong in The Green Mile
That poor microwave...
Hmmm today for lunch a hot iPotato freshly steamed for your liking.
I have that exact microwave but with a pizza button instead of the rice one and it's louder.
Apple will soon release an IMicrowave that refuses to operate when it detects Apple products within.
Ok, I enjoy seeing an iPad microwaved... But "art"? That's stretching it.
Took 3:30 seconds of the dude talking to make me want to poke a Q-tip all the way in my ear.
Took exactly 2 sec for the microwaves to kill the ipad.
I want to see someone put thermite on it.
A few comments:
A)talking guy is very annoying.
B)didn't need the unboxing, already 1000 other of them on youtube (i am guessing)
C)Wish it would have been the other type of nuking, you know the fun kind. With every ipad manufactured in a pile.
what a waste of a perfectly good microwave.
Apple thanks you for your purchase and continued support!
If I see one more iPad article on the front page that doesn't have to do with OS updates, recalls, or other important things such as explosions and (personal injury) lawsuits, I swear to God....
pad smoke, dont breathe this.

So Jane, when are you going to barbeque yours?
I hate apple but man that seems like a extreme waste of money... I really really hate Apple but .< but that kinda money to melt a pieace of garbage? come on
Most annoying voice ever recorded.
It's amazing how stupid people are. This guy is probably trying to make an anti-Apple statement, and instead just gives them money. What a moron.
It's not like he exposed the Apple's inferiority. It's not expected for a device like this to handle a microwave. So, did he just want to sound cute? What a dork. I'm guessing Apple hopes more idiots pay them money to try to sound cute.
I can produce a video with a lot iPads burning like hell and being crash every where
But you will cry like babies at the end when you discover in the credits "No iPad was harmed in the creation of this video. Just CG iPads used"
BUT! Will it blend?
It Does!
Lmao at the "Item Condition: Refurbished" line in the eBay auction screenshot.
BUT! Will it blend?It Does!
I win!

I know. He would have gotten the same attention had it been the cheapest model.
