valleywag.com — Oops. You broke it.
NickDouglas- 2970 diggs
- digg it
- krustation, on 10/10/2007, -13/+71Man, that blows! Guess its a good thing the price has dropped, he's going to need a new one! Hey Kevin - Does the touch screen still work?
- Platysquirrel, on 10/10/2007, -8/+69The price wasn't the only thing that dropped....
queue the "no *****"- badjoke, on 10/10/2007, -9/+20HEYO!
- anagoge, on 10/10/2007, -9/+61Queue
–noun
2. a file or line, esp. of people waiting their turn.
cue
–noun
1. anything said or done, on or off stage, that is followed by a specific line or action- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -17/+2Wouldn't his cue be a verb in this case?
- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I know this will end in being further buried but to clarify:
"queue the "no *****""
queue being the verb in his sentence but with him meaning the word "cue"
Sorry you misunderstood.
- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I know this will end in being further buried but to clarify:
- neenach2002, on 10/10/2007, -13/+1"His cue" implies ownership over "cue"...and anytime ownership is implied, the thing ownership is implied onto is a noun.
- AceLy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19Dumb and dumber ^^^
- Platysquirrel, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3I know I know, I messed up... =(
- lament, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7pedant
noun.
one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge
- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -17/+2Wouldn't his cue be a verb in this case?
- Tripacer, on 10/10/2007, -14/+4Sorry to say kevin, but you got owned.
- Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3Kevin is also apparently jewish as he is essentially offering $2.00 for the caption contest.
- indraneel24, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3What are you, 12?
- Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5No, but I am a Jew. Would like photographic evidence?
- Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3Kevin is also apparently jewish as he is essentially offering $2.00 for the caption contest.
- Ajjah, on 10/10/2007, -17/+3The screen works better than the iPod Touch's does...
- Trax91, on 10/10/2007, -22/+3Just in case...
Mirror: http://bayimg.com/nAGjjaABp - mastercheif, on 10/30/2007, -13/+2Ha!! He could use his $100 dollar apple store credit to get a new iPhone!!!
- Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -2/+72Touch screen still works, it just cuts you up like a mother ***** ;-)
- L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15This should show that bastard to make us a ***** PICTURE SECTION!!!!!!!!
- Trublmakr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Cool how it looks cracked when held vertically or horizontally
- Platysquirrel, on 10/10/2007, -8/+69The price wasn't the only thing that dropped....
- Glugory, on 10/10/2007, -76/+19And here I didn't think it was possible to make the iPhone crappier than it already is. Guess I was wrong.
- minnymoo, on 10/10/2007, -35/+11pwnd.
- dracostimpy, on 10/10/2007, -14/+1Nevermind... lrfit beat me to it below already.
- astromodder, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1haha i love the fact that you got dugg down just because you didnt put the letter i in front of pwnd
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -11/+24That is why you get a case. Still can't protect it from breaking from direct pressure (such as when you hit a table), but it should keep it from breaking if you drop it.
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -5/+84This is why you don't drop it.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2That is also true.
- ParticleMan420, on 10/10/2007, -19/+8sounds cool, getting a cool solid screen then covering with a case
why not save some money and just get a real phone. you cant wait to check youtube til you get home? - The1DB, on 10/10/2007, -7/+11 Because after spending a fortune for the iPhone you expect the thing to work and work well
2 Because then surely you'd need to get it out of the case to do anything with it? - mrferg, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3A well designed product shouldn't NEED a case, well done Apple.
- 80hd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Plastic film form factory+big nasty crack = :(
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -5/+84This is why you don't drop it.
- Irfit, on 10/10/2007, -21/+317iPwnd
- frieddonuts, on 10/10/2007, -32/+10Enough with the iJokes. They were used up YEARS ago.
On another note, look at poor Kevin's face. Looks like he just lost a family member.- ruddy, on 10/10/2007, -8/+55iDont think so
- pcore, on 10/10/2007, -6/+8That deserves an iPwnt
- ruddy, on 10/10/2007, -8/+55iDont think so
- ParticleMan420, on 10/10/2007, -14/+5the iJokes will go away when apple runs out of things to call iwhatever.
dont blame us that apple is so very creative and calls everything i+whatever it is.
now i need to go use the iToilet and take an idump- eliteeggnog, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1What about the MacBook and Mac Pro?
Also, they don't call them iLCD's.- ParticleMan420, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yet
- eliteeggnog, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1What about the MacBook and Mac Pro?
- 711groove, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Perhaps if he got in a FIGHT with the iPhone. Looks more to me like iGot Pwnd
- jerrygofixit, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3iPhail'd
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9iPhowned
- frieddonuts, on 10/10/2007, -32/+10Enough with the iJokes. They were used up YEARS ago.
- redheadguy719, on 10/10/2007, -8/+145wasn't this his second one too?
- badjoke, on 10/10/2007, -5/+57Yup, first one was rebooting constantly.
- TyroPyro, on 10/10/2007, -8/+113Anything else you guys would like to add about his life
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -9/+95His favorite color recently switched from blue to green. He's thinking about having his cat repainted to reflect this change.
- Gir53457, on 10/10/2007, -10/+20I heard he was going to laser etch his cat.
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -20/+3Hey, he says that crap on Diggnation, it doesn't mean everyone who knows a couple things about him is sucking his dick. At least I'm not. *****, I can't speak for everyone.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -9/+95His favorite color recently switched from blue to green. He's thinking about having his cat repainted to reflect this change.
- TyroPyro, on 10/10/2007, -8/+113Anything else you guys would like to add about his life
- loudej, on 10/10/2007, -13/+3Rebooting constantly? That sounds like he was trying some of the iphone unlock stuff.
- badjoke, on 10/10/2007, -5/+57Yup, first one was rebooting constantly.
- zomgfast, on 10/10/2007, -13/+0Holy hell! That thing is a phone too!?

- Remmiz, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Wautoma eh? Can you just bring it over to my house in Oshkosh and let me play with it :)
- ajgv, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1i cant believe how cool you are! can i have your autograph?!
- anarchytv, on 10/10/2007, -54/+8iCrap. held by an iSucker. Who's now out of some iBucks...
(looks like the screen has some major screen burn as well)- Pokez, on 10/10/2007, -8/+55Wow...bashing Kevin, the iPhone, Apple, and making annoying iJokes. Welcome to digg hell
- dayvideg, on 10/10/2007, -10/+44this is just the first of many more broken iphones, think about how many times you drop your regular freebie cell phone, the iphone isn't special because its from apple
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3Were you expecting the iPhone to be made out of titanium and lexan? Any phone breaks. You just have to get a decent case for it.
- Scruffydan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22I've dropped my Sony Ericson so many times I've lost count... and it still works like a charm
- EntangledPhysx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10they could have used something other than the fragile glass as a screen. I would have thought Apple would have figured that out... considering how many times people drop their phones.
- ajgv, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2so you don't think they had that in mind?
- aaronm67, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10...it seems pretty clear they didn't consider it too closely.
- piwy, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3Then again, if they went with the more durable plastic, you'd be here right now whining about how apple made a scratchable screen.
- ajgv, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2so you don't think they had that in mind?
- Hermmunster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I doubt it is the first. It's just the first to get some publicity.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3Were you expecting the iPhone to be made out of titanium and lexan? Any phone breaks. You just have to get a decent case for it.
- loganhid, on 10/10/2007, -22/+214don't worry, he's rich enough to buy thousands of iPhones
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -28/+4Not really, actually. Digg isn't an incredibly profitable company.
- jerryparid, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Digg is the #105 visited site on the internet, the ad revenue will NOT be bad, probably in the range of 50-200k per month
- onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12that's quite a large range.
- benguild, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Yep.
- DROWE859, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Being that popular also costs a lot in bandwidth.
- virtualball, on 10/10/2007, -7/+9LOL! You think they don't make a lot of money? Not only do they have ad deals with Google and Microsoft, but they also run a site that gets (probably) hundreds of thousands of hits a day! They also sell T-Shirts and own their own online TV channel thing. Go Daddy also sponsers/features them. How are these people NOT making money?
- jerryparid, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Digg is the #105 visited site on the internet, the ad revenue will NOT be bad, probably in the range of 50-200k per month
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -8/+7I wonder how many iPhones $60 million gets you...?
- Checkerd, on 10/10/2007, -6/+01 hundred thousand?
- alexryver, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11150375, and you still have some cash left over to buy some ringtones.
- ruddy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3a virtual $60 million get you about.... a virtual 1 hundred thousand iphones.
- adt41287, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10he's not rich. if he were to sell all his web start-ups that would be a different story.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -28/+4Not really, actually. Digg isn't an incredibly profitable company.
- Yang1205, on 10/10/2007, -31/+3Even legends make mistakes
- meachen, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12kiss ass

- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Actually it is kind of funny that it's Kevin Rose, seeing as how he's such a big Apple fanboy.
- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Wouldn't pretty much anyone that has an iPhone be a big Apple fanboy?
- alexdemers, on 10/10/2007, -7/+20Yea, we got it the first time. Didn't need to add your 2 cents.

1.Relating to Screw
2.This is what happens to students who do not study and party too much.
3. MEDIA DEFENDER
- TaintedWisdom, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1LOL, I think they should add a new definition in the dictionary for "Screwed"
- sounditout, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3was the scotch tape put on the phone as a result of its falling or was it put on before the accident for some other problem? you never know with those crap phones.

- ericdano, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5It is an upgrade. ***** Plastic.
- fatadamblog, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2That looks nasty, What did you drop it off a high story building or something or used force?
Usually the iPhone can take a beating and be dropped quite a number of times without breaking the screen. - jackmaninov, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26Nooooo. You bitch. YOU BITCH!

- nakile, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3On the positive side, at least replacing it will cost him $100 less thanks to that Apple Store credit.
But I want to know how far he dropped it to have that happen? Didn't a bunch of people drop the the iPhone on cement and it was just fine? Well, minus a few dings on the case... - mannymix03, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3hey its kevin rose's cracked iphone
