IT-support personnel have a difficult job. Constant phone calls and emails from people barely smart enough to operate their computers can grate on you after a while. Before too long, every support phone call sounds the same.
“Hello, IT… [rolls dice] Hmm, sounds like you’ve got some spyware. It’s no big deal, it’s a Windows problem, but we can just install some anti-spyware and take care of it. Okay? Great… You’re welcome… I love you, too…”
You know what would be fun? To pilot your jet ski from the lake directly into the back of an open van that has been backed into the water. Just like in the movies. What could possibly go wrong?
What I thought was going to be a clear case of “no duh, phones break when you drop them” turned into a full on conspiracy thanks to the comments section of this article. Seriously, the comments are better than the article.
We have a full iPhone 4(minus the circuit board), here at our shop and decided to do a little drop test. This drop was performed from 3.5 ft up. Mind you that these parts ARE original apple parts. Laser etched and all. The iPhone 4 did survive 2 drops, as expected, but on the 3rd drop there was a loud POP, and yet again, shattered glass.
