Attempted destruction of the Esquire e-ink display

[rbcp]

Boredom led to me trying everything I could think of to destroy one of my e-ink displays from the October 2008 issue of Esquire magazine. Will I succeed? Who will win the battle? Watch this amazing video to find out!

That was pretty cool. Wonder if a magnet would have effected it. DESTROY ANOTHER ONE !!!

You should run the screen over with the wheel of a car to see if pressure will wreck it. I imagine that it would have to be pretty strong to survive being at the bottom of a stack of magazines.

FIVE STARS, MAN! AND I NEVER GIVE FIVE STARS.

The screen is super thin so I have my doubt about a car crushing it, especially when it survived the drilling.  I was surprised about that.  It's too bad they can't make LCD screens so durable.

If you do decide to destroy another one you should think about a hotter heat source. Like one of those butane torch lighters they sell at gas stations.

this makes me want to go out and buy two of these...one to play with, and one to break.

I couldn't find any anywhere I looked. Can any of the Canadians here find them locally?

They have lots of them here in Ottawa. I didn't buy any cause i was sleeping.

The Esquire thing is being linked to by 4 or 5 blogs today and was on Fark earlier this week.  That's why my shitty server keeps going down.  It's not the bunny invasion at all.  I really need to move again.

What was up with that bunny invasion?
Who do you host with? Or do you host it yourself?
