[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.

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?

    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
