  • Drowning the iPhone 3GS



    This isn't specifically gaming news, but deserves an OMG or two. As you may already know, the new iPhone 3GS has a video recorder, and what a perfect time to have such a utility! Summer! Sun! Pools! This videographer had the right idea, but slippery hands bear silly $300 dollar accidents. It may have drowned, but it's still alive!


    If you iPhone owners really want to cringe, check out some iPhone torture stress tests while you stroke your pristine, spotless babies.

    Personally, if I ever need to let out some hurt from my itchy fingers, I go to an Apple store and throw around their iPhones that are on display...I do not condone such sadistic actions, though. Well, if you want to wreak some less physically harmful havoc at your local Apple store, you could always invert all of the computer displays when no one is looking (CONTROL + OPTION + COMMAND + 8). I shamelessly do this to every computer I can get my hands on before getting caught, and most employees don't know the keyboard shortcut to change it back, so they have to fumble around System Preferences on each computer to flip the colors back to normal.

    Anyone out there have any iPhone or Apple horror stories? What would you do if your iPhone fell into the pool?

    I would cry if my iPhone fell into the pool. I love my iPhone. And please leave the computers at the Apple Store alone. You upset the employees and you upset us customers who are only there to bask in Apple's warm, branded, glow.

    the only place  i  can pick up internet is by my sliding door. one night i left my macbook sit and fell asleep only to wake up 2 hours later to rain pouring onto it through the door. my d,e, and 3 buttons wouldn't work and my screen was all messed up. i immediately opened up WoW to get all my fans runing as fast as they could to dry things up XP. i must say that the durability of apple stuff makes it worth the 1,100 bucks i paid for it. as the screen has since fixed itself and after going to the apple store to get a new keyboard. the guy helping me said water had gotten onto the stuff inside and that it may eventually stop working, but to get it fixed would be 800 dollars!! ridiculous. so i'm just gonna hope for the best.

    also, i love the ctrl option command 8 trick. definitely going to do it to all my mac-owning yet clueless about mac hipster friends :D
