Ultimate iPhone Review — Will It Blend?

I've been enjoying the Will it Blend videos forever. There's something about a labcoat clad crazy man putting things like marbles and soda cans into a blender and after reducing them to powder, warning you not to breathe in the particles. Well today they ask the ultimate question of the latest over-hyped internet sensation Will the iPhone Blend? Fans of these videos can probably guess the answer... and this story made my morning. I've been waiting for an excuse to link these forever. If you haven't seen these, you're in for a real treat.

    And that's where your argument gets derailed.
    The excessive hyperbole seriously weakens any point you are trying to make.

    No matter how hard you try to equate the two
    blending an iPhone != laughing at someone breaking their ankle If you say so. It's deriving pleasure from the misery of others. I used two examples, PS3 and the trampoline. If you think that the trampoline is out of place, let's strike it from the record. In its place I will submit the "scare" videos and taped reactions to them. The victim is sat down at the computer watching a flash video that runs for 20 seconds and then has a scary face pop up with a jarring scream. I've seen some of these where they direct the prank at a young child. Well gee, isn't that funny, the kid probably craps himself he's so scared and all the adults are laughing at him. That's going to stick with him for years to come. I don't think it's funny but I seem to be in the minority.

    However, I have never been able to find a power button on the iMac.
    I had trouble with that, too. I think I eventually found what looked like a sticker on the side or back. Pressing on the sticker turned the thing on. How can Apple claim to be so cool, when they can't even get the power button right?
