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

[crimsonhead]

No offense, but I suggest you look into some editing software...

[Dayemare]

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

I watched all 8 mins of it, it was entertaining. Ya prob could have used some editing but still entertaining.

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 :)

[Kraftman]

That's awful about your laptop but great that your lungs are doing well (Y)

I think it was a good thing to post a followup because even I had my doubts about the authenticity of the first video.

[Jaded]

Dude, duct tape?? Just go for some plastic cement, won't look as ghetto, plus it will be strong/last longer.

[lykwid]

i'm now more interested in reading your transplant story

hope u get ur ibook fixed!

[AMDMEFX-55]

Man that sucks. I hope you can get it fixed I hate when I do stuff like that. And ouch $300 to fix it that's bs.

[dreamsINdigital]

Well at least it works. :) Why don't you go on and record the video you originally intended to do?

[levianthen]

Looks like it was on purpose to me. . .

[PiracyX]

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?

Followup video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx_Q4PyOOiM

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.

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.

[yudi_lks]

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

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?
