[Video] Me breaking my iBook (death via dropping)


Recommended Posts

I have the iSight webcam. I did these in a rush so it looks horrible. I recorded it in HD quality but then reduced it to that for youtube. It is built into my iMac. The lighting is also bad since i'm just using two desk lamps as I dont have time to get the lighting setup properly

Hey man it sucks to drop an iBook... I would hate to have done that myself... especially because I have a dell and there is hardly a chance that it'd survive the same drop.....

I'm happy for you doing so well with your lungs. I hope you continue doing well :)

Anyways, This is something that wont be coverd by applecare.. so after I get the courage to tell my paernts in the morning, I hopefully assume we will be heading to go get a Macbook. but I doubt it.

Are your parents made of money or something?

That's a good video, I'm glad you wasn't mad about me putting you on digg.com Most of the comments you got were hateful, but you got 182 diggs! :) I always thought it was an accident, not everyone swears when they drop stuff, I know when I dropped my iBook I was in total shock and just went omg omg omg and left it on the floor before I even examined the damage.

Dude, what's your problem? You are accusing him stole iBook, insulting someone else's house and parents of having no money? Not everyone as rich as you.. And he got an iMac with an iSight, so why would he steal the iBook and break it on purpose?

Just watched the video and the look on your face is priceless, Id react probably the same way, like disbelief and oh **** moments. Good to hear the ibook is fine though, and after the battery and whatnot the rest is cosmetic. And good luck with fixing the screen too, the way you explain it seems pretty logical and should work imo.

For some reason this has turned into some people being abusive for no reason but I really dont get the big deal. Its just a bummer thing that happens, you drop your laptop, and even more so it's recorded lol. Forget about the keyboard warriors.

Considering a paypal donation for ya

I bet you stole that ibook and is breaking it just for fun. I doubt parents who live that that kind of home environment would by you one. And you seem to leave the room the hallway to see if your parents are not coming.

That was the most ****ed up thing I've read today.

1) I don't steal.

2) You cant see **** in that video, dude. That is the only brick wall and it's brick because there is a house connected to our right. You dont even see the left corner of the room, my room is huge! You dont see anything but this little area where I stand and drop it. You can't possibly ****ing judge my house or our finances by this video! How dare you?

3) It'd be sorta weird to be standing in front of a webcam talking and you're parents were to walk in, no?

    • I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
