yeah, those guys just scored a free video iPod.

and what did they expect the employees to do, i bet if i walked in, brought a top of the line G5, took to it with a sledgehammer, and asked them to join in, they probably would, it's my money i'm wasting, why would they care?

What a bunch of idiots.

What do Apple care.. they got their $400 and its one less warranty possibility to have to worry about. If anything you've done them a favour rather than making any sort of point. Congratulations.

Might have been better spent sending aid to the millions of displaced people in Pakistan, or the countless thousands who've had their lives ruined in New Orleans, etc etc..

Here here. The post-of-the-day award goes to you.

DAMN you people don't understand this at all. The guy's actually conducting a social experiment; that's why he's filming peoples reactions. The point is to make all the dumb idiots who love their iPods, and anyone who thinks of an iPod as a "Big Kahuna" to be worshiped, to scream their heads off; NOT to make Apple feel bad, or something like that. Anyone who says this is dumb, immediately misses the point, and proves his experiment completely right.

And some of the flamers on his site complain about wasting money... but it obviously isn't a waste, if people will gladly give their money to see what people say when he smashes the bugger. Even if you DO think it's a waste, just let it go.. because it's not your money.

This is a very nice idea, and I personally, would love to see the apple fanboys cry. Go hug your money somewhere else.

:yes:

i dont think it's a matter of fanboys this or fansboys that. There are plenty of people who's parents can't make ends meet who would love something like an iPod or XBox. Like someone else mentioned that money could have gone to other better things.

And to tell you the truth, it may seem strange to some people, but some workers like working in their jobs. Some people do like the products they sell, and why not, the ipod brings a lot of joy to a lot of people. They look good and are desirable, so when someone comes in a smashes up their products why shouldn't they look p***ed off. I know i would be.

It seems that anything successful must be hated, thank god Microsoft didn't create the iPod or there would probably be a crusade by now. I don't understand why people have such a deep hatred of the iPod, if you don't like them don't buy em, if i don't like something i don't bitch about it on the nearest forum, i just don't buy it.

Like a lot of other people have mentioned all they have done is smashed up a previous generation which they got bored with, and got themselves a spanking new one for nothing.

This is not an experiment, it's just a waste of time and money, and a way for some spoilt kid to get a new iPod.

Wow. I agree, a big waste of time and money. It could have gone to better causes, but then again, that's pretty cool, I'm looking forward to smashmyps3.com and smashmyxbox.com.

From smash my xbox:

The Plan

From the creators of SmashMyiPod.com, we bring you, SmashMyXbox.com!

After we collect $430 in donations, we will take that money to a local Best Buy, which opens at 12am on the launch date. We will purchase the Xbox 360, and destroy it in front of the other Xbox fanboys who are already waiting in line. We will try to be at the very front of the line. The whole thing will be shot on film, and displayed on this site. This is only a social experiment, for the entertainment of the donors, and visitors of this site. For more info, read the faq.

Damn.

Yes, there are people who can barely make ends meet, and people left homeless by disasters and all of that... and that's why those people aren't donating. People who aren't exactly on the verge of destruction aren't about to stop spending any money just because somebody else can't... seems like a good way to destroy the economy to me.

The iPod they destroyed is a brand new 20 gig model... I don't see why anyone would go on about how it's a fake, especially since they recorded it on video.

Oh, trojan, your post has got to be one of the best I've ever seen in defence of the smashing projects. I'm going to quote it on the smashourstuff.com forums :)

The video will be officially released tommorow, so check it out!

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
