iPhone 3G vs. Solar Death Ray

You'll note that after its destruction, the phone still plays music.

Poor kids burn ants, rich kids burn iPhones

I guess...

Why can I see this crap?

[TheRaven64]

I just checked my settings to see if I'd made a mistake, but I had not. Idle is blocked from the front page by my settings, and yet I currently see this 'story' and the 'Kind of Computer Mice' one displayed. The other one was in collapsed form, but this one is fully expanded just like a story I might be interested in, in spite of the fact that it's in the idle section.

The kdawson block still seems to work - maybe I should just block samzenpus as well.

Someone who knows more about the lithium batteries

[magsol]

I could be wrong, but isn't there a danger of the battery exploding from that kind of heat?

Decadent

Others would be happy to own one of these...

Re:Yay! iPhone has been destroyed!

[Cryolithic]

Not a teenager by a long shot and I still enjoyed that. Or are you sad that someone might defile the fruit of Jobs' loins? Really, if you don't like idle don't fucking read it.

[Brandee07]

Keep in mind who you're dealing with here: guys who build heat rays in their backyards for fun.

To them, setting things on fire is fun. Making things explode is AWESOME.

The day without iPhone

[gsgriffin]

Oh, how I look forward to a single day without something about the iPhone. It is as if our trillion dollar economy depended solely upon this novelty. The poor desperation of all the lost souls in the world that don't own one and never will. Come on /.ers, let's try just one day without a meaningless story about something that most people don't own and most never will.

So they invested 20-40 bucks into what to them is entertainment. Hardly a sign of a lack of brains..
