The Will It Blend? host, [Tom Dickson], is at it again. This time, he blends the new Apple iPhone 3G. We’re completely in awe of how efficient the blender is at the destruction of electronics, and this time, it’s no different. Watch in fascination (or horror) as [Dickson] turns the latest iPhone into ashes.

First, idiots (I know, I hate the iphone too.. but why blend when you can ebay?)
Second, NOT A FKING HACK.
That is all.

Ok, nobody can say this isn’t a hack…
Or at least an attempted try to hack apart an iPhone :p

OBVIOUSLY They blend it for popularity. When people hear about someone doing something completely outrageous(Like blending expensive products), they want to see it.
It worked with you didn’t it?
What’s a $200 investment when the site and their sponsors know they’re going to make much more just from you clicking the page.

Not a hack you fuckwits. listen to your readers. this is not the bullshit we want. if we wanted this we would go to engadget.
you are close to losing a lot of readers.

Waste of our fcking time, pointless.

You can’t complain about a free site. The worst that could happen to them is they lose readers. It’s their call.

Hey, I know. How about everybody complaining about posting things that aren’t hacks, fucking hack something! Then they will have a hack to post. Otherwise shut the hell up! It’s not your site, they can post what ever the hell they want.

Indeed, not a hack… but you all do realize that this was all caused by all the people crying “More posts”… there are only so many actual “hacks” out there. Plus, I do remember a survey taking place. How many of you voted for the things other than hardware and software hacks.
If you want more hacks, suggest more hacks to Hackaday… you know, instead of bullshitting about how the past entry wasn’t a hack…

I’m so annoyed that this isn’t a hack that I’m going to click through to their site and give them ad revenue just so i can post a comment letting them know!

define: hack
# one who works hard at boring tasks
# chop: cut with a hacking tool
# machine politician: a politician who belongs to a small clique that controls a political party for private rather than public ends
# be able to manage or manage successfully; “I can’t hack it anymore”; “she could not cut the long days in the office”
# cut away; “he hacked his way through the forest”
# a mediocre and disdained writer
# etc etc
i see cut away and chop as definitions. this seems to fit the definition of hack perfectly. and if you flamers (re: gay) think this isn’t a hack, go back to school and relearn english. and if you don’t care for this article, skip it. not like there’s not a dozen others posted recently to entertain you adhd freaks.

Too bad they didn’t try to return it… :)

wth guys, cut them some slack, if anything you should be looking at how easy it shreds and trying to figure out how to keep that from happening to YOUR work, h*ll maybe even sell your idea to companies. and also, i dont mind the complaining, but dont tell them it’s not a hack and then try to tell them that your ps2’s modchip is (unless you made your own, in which case, i have respect for you). some of us also enjoy watching stuff like this occansionally.

not a hack, but i was amused nonetheless.
if you don’t like hackaday, make your own hacking blog!
if you’re really all about the DIY mentality, then you’d go for it.
if not, stop whining and get over it.

not a hack.

I think instead of being close to losing a BUNCH of readers, those readers should all just leave. How do know that anyway? Do you go to work and talk to all your friends like:
“Hey man, did you visit dubbleyou dubbleyou dubbleyou dot hack a day dot com yesterday?”
“Yeah, I might stop going there, they’ve been posting less of what I WANT them to post on THEIR blog.”
“I know, it sickens me to think that I can’t always have my way.”
So, what I’m bluntly trying to convey is, speak for your self, or don’t speak. And instead of threatening to leave, just leave. I’ll call if I miss you.

hey at least these comments aren’t filled with “but will it blend” bullshit comments… unless that’s what h-a-d wants…

This is entertainment and not a hack. Nonetheless I enjoyed the video. A Hack would be a honest attempt at taking the iphone apart. This is just plane destruction.

I enjoy breaks from the ordinary.
If you don’t like posts like these, scroll your mouse 5-6 clicks further down the page and you’re at the next post! Problem solved!

!!! NOT A HACK !!!
Can you please make 2 categories?: hacks and not hacks.
So we can choose content for ourselves.
Posted at 4:24 pm on Jul 14th, 2008 by DarkFader
Jeez people…if you don’t like what is here go the fuck somewhere else like you’ve all been threatening to! I am getting sick of all you pissant, know-it-all whiners out there. “Boo-hoo! HAD is doing something different! It scares me! I no like….woe is me…oh boo-hoo-hoo”. Damn dudes, get a life!
BTW, I LOVE seeing those POS Iphones getting smashes, blended, or otherwise destroyed. Keep up the good work HAD!

This should be a realistic down-to-earth website that’s swarming with magic robots.
And you should win things by watching!!!!
