Found Footage: Clearing the way for the iPhone 3G



Watch this video at your own risk ... it truly is painful to watch as this iPhone gets a bullet right through the home button. I can't help but think if there was a much more humane way of getting rid of an old iPhone. Online auction sites or maybe an online classified ads site might be nice. Hmm ... yeah, if only those existed.

On an iPhone? Click this link to watch the YouTube video.

Thanks, Det!

Flickr Find: iPod armor edition



Wow, as if there weren't enough reason to carry around your iPod, Kevin Garrad of the 3rd Infantry Division has evidence that an iPod can save your life. Apparently, he had the iPod in his outside pocket when he was shot with an AK-47; the iPod seems to have slowed down the bullet enough to prevent it from penetrating his body armor. Flickr user tikigod, who posted the image, says that it has been seen inside Apple, and they're working on getting Kevin a replacement.

Update: I ran across a bit more information, including links to some more pictures. I'm pretty sure this is legitimate. [via Digg]
