I have no emotion about this. I'm entirely ambivalent! |

Microwaved iPad for sale on eBay
Longing to get your hands on Apple's sleek new toy? Don't mind if it's a little bit, um... destroyed? Luckily for you, an 'artist' is selling a freshly microwaved 3G iPad on eBay - and there's video of the microwaving.
The microwaving is carried out by 'microwave artist' Kenny Irwin, of Palm Springs in Florida, who has a long track record of microwaving things - using his specially built one ton 'microwave robot', which he calls the Amir 9000. Previously, Irwin has microwaved an iPhone 3G.
The iPad microwaving is a long and thorough process - no quick 30 second burst of microwaves here. First, the iPad is booted up, backed up to a MacBook, connected to its 3G data network, and finally made to load the YouTube of the previous destruction of the iPhone. It's like a serial killer taunting his newest victim. Then, the iPad is placed into the Amir 9000, and given 18 minutes of microwaves on full power. By the end, it's in flames. (In the video, you might want to skip ahead to 6.30, which is when things get burny.)
The current bidding for the ruined remains of the iPad - which will come 'beautifully encased in museum quality resin with stylish display stand signed and dated by the artist' - stands at $69, or $760 less than it would have cost before being microwaved.

It finally went for $650... not bad!
Here's something else - the comments are worth reading. These Mac users don't have much of a sense of humour!

haha yeah, you're not wrong there - I saw there was a thing today from Steve Jobs, saying that the conditions at the factory where so many have committed suicide were 'great' or something...
That's like Jim Jones saying 'this kool-aid's real tasty, mmmmm, drink it down my gullible loyal acolytes' |

There was another story like this a year or two ago, but I couldn't find it...
still pretty funny though - the people in Iran probably bought it off ebay or something! |
