High-risk work going on! I probably would never try this in real-life for myself.

Nice to see this thing being destroyed!

This video is the Mac fanboy equivalent to showing a vegetarian how hotdogs are made.

That was brutal, but so interesting I couldn't look away.

So this was the iPad that one of us was supposed to win, right? Oh, I cannot wait. ;)

uh...wouldn't a meat loving hotdog fanboy watching how hotdogs are made be the equivalent?

Considering Will is using an iPad since yesterday, either he was able to build it back together(yay Will) or he bullied Norm with shady looks in his eyes and took his iPad(shame on you Will), regardless this was and continues to be one of the most tense things to watch on the internet. Though, I felt there should have been a small segment showing if it was rebuilt or not.
 
Secondly, I'm curious where some of the music came in the background from as it was not typical Midnight Brown as WM tend to have.

I think they got 2 shipped to the Tested offices and they both got at least 1 personally. They both said they had iPad's waiting at their houses when they got home and they had 2 to start with at the offices.

That was both horrific and awesome at the same time. Looking forward to seeing what kind of a state it's in after they've attempted to put it back together again.

Hm, well I believe Norm drove over as soon as he got his. Will had one, then during the livestream, Norm mentioned Will's wife finally got hers. So at least 3, regardless I'm still curious if it was rebuilt.

That was pretty awesome.

I've done my fair share of iPad trolling, but that was brutal to watch.  Pulling apart the screen was over the top.

@HypoXenophobia It definitely wont be rebuilt, if you had any hope. It will probably look like a rip-off of an iPad after it went through the ghetto then the black market.
Maxtronon April 4, 2010 at 9:10 a.m.
Best Part:       Will: Shit just got real.
We love you Will, good luck with the assembly.

The destruction of something beautiful is undeniably beautiful in itself - it's like kicking down a sand castle or destroying a snowman.  Awesome video, guys!
JeffreyGeeon April 4, 2010 at 9:35 a.m.
Please try to put it back together.  That would be friggin awesome if you could.
