Man Fries iPhone With Giant Magnifying Glass

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Fried like a bug.

I'm assuming that this guy was able to get an iPhone 4 last week or some other really cool Android-based phone because he's going sending his iPhone 2G EDGE phone off to the big, uh, Apple Store in the sky – but not before going through a fiery, burning hell.

Now this iPhone knows what it feels like to be an ant suffering at the hands of little kids with a magnifying glass on a summer day.

UPDATE: Seems that the video's author switched his clip to private just as this went live. Here's another video link.

Stop posting those idiotic articles about idiots who destroy electronics. Please.

Is this a culture in which we value destruction more than anything, WTH ??

This article would be much more entertaining if Tom's would get permission from the video's owner before linking it.... Private video FTL

Oh joy. An uninteresting object is destroyed in an uninteresting way.

*Yawns and makes a sad face over the waste of yet another bunch of work, chemicals and rare earth metals*

I wonder how clever that was... I mean, with heavy metals, plastics and what not involved in all the components, breathing that toxic smoke won't do you any good.

I would have still bought it for $100. It's basically an ipod touch, but with a few extra features!

Really. Stop posting videos like this.
Before it's good enough top put on Toms, he needs some C4 and lasers, not just a magnifying glass.
