Why It's OK These Guys Are Throwing iPads In The Back Of A Wal-Mart
These two guys are supposedly throwing iPads in the back of a Wal-Mart. And you know what? The iPads are fine .
Source: youtube.com
There are a number of weird things about this video, in a which a guy with a thick Appalachian accent proclaims, "This is why you don't buy an iPad from Wal-Mart." He and another guy then toss what looks like an iPad box back and forth inside of a stockroom before dropping one on the floor, with a resounding clack. It's the sole video uploaded by this anonymous account; it almost seems fake. But when I called the Wal-Mart in Pikeville, Kentucky (population 6,903 as of 2010), where the video was allegedly shot, and asked about it, a woman on the other end of the phone simply said, "That's already been taken care of," and promptly hung up before I could reply. (One of the commenters on the video, xreturnwthhonorx, said, at approximately 12:05 p.m., "All 3 men have been fired, and must pay for all damaged products.")
Here's the thing: Your iPad, your cell phone, your Xbox — your anything — has been treated almost this exact way, no matter where you bought it. Whether it was the UPS guy, or a reckless stockroom employee, your precious has probably been shaken, rattled, rolled, punted, slammed, or all of the above. And it's fine. That's precisely what the packaging has been designed to withstand.

For all of the increasingly precise manufacturing that goes into our electronics and the sophistication of the supply chain that delivers them in precise, targeted quantities to Best Buys and Wal-Marts and Amazon, humans are still a fundamental part of getting them into your hands. They get tired and drop things. Or careless, and throw things. That hasn't changed — and it won't — and the people designing the carefully molded plastic and recycled paper coffins for your iPad know that. It's built into the design. It's why your device is suspended in the middle of a box, comfortably cradled in a plastic tray. Which makes the shrinking packages over the last few years all the more remarkable achievements of engineering and design.
Amazon is perhaps the most functionally brilliant packaging designer around — no surprise, since it's in the shipping business, and broken wares could cost it a ton of money (given that it just lost money for the quarter, that would be bad). The new Kindle Paperwhite box is a testament to just how good Amazon's gotten at packaging. When this slim, black geometric shape arrives in the mail, there is no separate box inside, just your new Kindle. Amazon's built a single box that holds the Kindle and withstands all the brutalities of the postal system.
So throw your iPad box down when you get it. Hurl it at your wall. Play the drums on it. Your iPad is fine, no matter where you bought it.

Turkish Mayor Sues 600 For Critical Tweets, Which Are Hilarious When Translated Into English
It's apparently illegal in Turkey to insult the country or its government.
Via: ankara.bel.tr
The Hurriyet Daily News reports that İbrahim Melih Gökçek, mayor of Turkish capital Ankara, has taken legal action against several hundred people trashing him on Twitter.
"There are about 600 people now that I’ve sued. In the beginning we weren't able to catch them with the speed of social media, but now we can," the mayor said in an TV interview. "When you give their names and accounts to police, they find themselves in front of prosecutors. But if they apologize publicly, then I say they're young and forgive them."
Under Turkey's controversial Article 301, those who insult "the Turkish Nation" can serve up to two years in prison.
Gökçek, who's served as mayor since 1994, is a controversial figure. Earlier this year, he said of women who get abortions, "Let mothers kill themselves."
Gökçek's Twitter account is completely in Turkish. But thanks to Google Translate, we were able to decipher a few tweets that maybe kind of sound like insults.

21 Kobe Bryants Who Definitely Got Mike Brown Fired
The Lakers have parted ways with head coach Mike Brown only five games into the season.
After a 1-4 start, Mike Brown has been fired by the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Sam Amick of USA Today Sports. This comes only a few days after Kobe Bryant initially expressed support for the embattled coach, but a day after video of Kobe giving Brown a death stare circulated on the web. Kobe claims he still supported Brown, but with today's firing, that seems unlikely. Chances are, if Kobe wanted Mike to have more time, Mike would have had more time.
But he didn't, so here are 21 Kobe Bryants Who Definitely Got Mike Brown Fired.
