Writing news stories on the iPhone, the marketing overload was just nauseating. Remember the Segway? Then I saw the videos of smashed iPhones. "Thatnimrod," a name no one would self apply where I come from, said his HammerTime was out of desperation to identify the circuitry innards. YouTube has a score of such videos. It says something about our techno-driven society. That's right: people have too much time, and money, on their hands. Here's Thatnimrod:
hey, you know, it's not that i have too much time on my hands. i also like to figure out how things work. i got to be the first person to open an iphone the day it sold. so i did it with a hammer. one small smash for a man. one giant break for iphone hacks.
