This is particularly awesome because my Cr-48 came with a piece of paper that said something like:<p>"Do not crush, incinerate, blend (guess we'll never find out if it'll blend...), ...(several other things)..."
Google did another advertisement where they destroy at least 5 laptops:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm-Vnx58UYo&feature" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm-Vnx58UYo&feature</a><p>I used to think that "Will it blend" was funny. Maybe the novelty of it has warn off. Instead of laughing, watching this video made me wince.
While funny etc. We have so much waste in the world as it is - the last thing we need is the toxic waste of a perfectly good machine being blended and thrown out.<p>I have never had respect for the 'will it blend' concept, regardless of how funny one may find it. It is simply wasteful.
I actually wanted to test my application on a Cr-48, but I didn't get one.<p>Oh well. I keep forgetting that it's Microsoft that says "developers, developers, developers, developers".
What was that Google mantra again?<p>Evil has many shades of grey but wasting a computer that could literally educate an entire schoolhouse in Africa and keeping this old, stupid joke going must be somewhere south of good.
