While it can be difficult to reconcile yourself with the reprehensible acts of violence that gadgets are being subjected to these days by eyeball-desperate Youtubers, there are times when such antics leave behind a lot more than just hugely popular videos and the fragmented remains of these devices. A case in point is the pulverization of the maiden Chrome OS device, the Google Cr-48, by the guys over at Will it Blend? -- a blender-happy outfit that likes to grind to pulp or dust pretty much everything they can lay their hands on.
Upon receiving their Cr-48 from Google, they asked themselves the question that drives their very existence: “Will it blend?” The Cr-48 was quickly squeezed into one of their trusted blenders and reduced to smoking dust in a few seconds.
In the video, the blender operator expresses happiness over the fact that his information is still secure in the cloud. But he leaves us with a thought provoking question: “I wonder where the cloud is?” I believe this is one question that a lot of us have been asking ourselves, haven’t we?

Why can't MaximumPC videos be more like this? There should be theme music especially for Gordon such as the Imperial March theme.

That dude has the goofiest smile at 1:07 in the video. Which he displays in all his videos.
Also, that is one amped blender.

Most companies are probably outraged by their products being blended, but I'll bet google was happy to send him 2 units. This was as good of an advertisement for the cloud computing model as any, and they got it for free.
