Watch a MacBook Air Get Blown Up by Firecracker

Going to a new computer from an old computer is a great experience. Everything is faster and just plain better. Of course, there's the issue with what to do with the old one. It can become a secondary machine, or you can sell it to let it serve someone else.

That's what these guys did after Apple announced the new MacBook Air.

Good times.

    What a bunch of idiots. The least they could've done is film it with a high speed camera.
