Well, the best I've heard of was at my old employer's - one of the sales people dropped their blackberry into a vat of industrial acid, and it was completely dissolved. It was an interesting support call to listen in on, my boss (the head of IT) was saying "Yeah, it, uh, got knocked into a vat of acid, and it's gone." "Well, getting the sim card out of it would be a problem, because that is also gone." "Well, we could skim the foam off the top of the vat to ship back to you, but you'd need hazardous materials certification before we could legally release it to you."
Buying the expensive version of the warranty was totally worth it for that one, just for the fact that it's probably the most unique replacement order they've ever had to fill. (And no, they didn't bother getting haz-mat clearance, so they didn't get the foam back.)

All these years I thought people were saying cell phone! It's foam!

Holy shit, you make your sales people work next to vats of industrial acid? That's quite the high pressure sales technique...
That sounds like a tragic story that could have ended otherwise.
In the future tethers should be issued with all Blackberries, so that if such an incident occurs again, the chance increases that the sales-type person will also pulled into the vat. It's just a shame that a Blackberry had to be sacrificed with no net benefit for the incident.
I read it for the articles, I swear!

Use the "Off" button when you're out for a movie, on a date with your girlfriend or having a beer with your buddies.
It will improve your social life, relieve some stress and you might stop looking like a pedantic ass.

Yet, it is also written:
A master was explaining the nature of Tao of to one of his novices. ``The Tao is embodied in all software - regardless of how insignificant,'' said the master.
``Is the Tao in a hand-held calculator?'' asked the novice.
``It is,'' came the reply.
``Is the Tao in a video game?'' continued the novice.
``It is even in a video game,'' said the master.
``And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?''
The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. ``The lesson is over for today,'' he said.

The trick is to drop them from at least the 3rd store of a building w/concrete pavement. The 2nd store just isn't always high enough, unless you purposely peg them at the ground. Entertainment the whole family can enjoy.

My local mall has over 30 stores but they aren't numbered. How do I determine which store is first, second, etc? Would the cashier at RadioShack know;-)

that makes it stop hauling me into work at 3 in the morning for some strange ritual called "escalation."
