Things to do with an old MacBook Air: Blow it up!!

Scott Gawlik from Crazy Cow Productions submitted this cinematic curiosity.

The guys picked up a couple of M-1000 explosives in Chinatown and decided to send their now-outdated-but-not-quite-obsolete MacBook Air to a higher place.

It puts me in mind of Jonathan Coulton’s “A Laptop Like You” where he sings…

In a year or two
You will seem big and heavy and slow
I will carry you
To wherever it is laptops go to die

Evidently, that place might be the messy spot behind the shed where you’ve got a firing range target taped to a heavy bag and American flag boxing gloves at the ready.

Sad… but in a cool explodie way.

One day left to grab the MacHeist 3 Bundle. 14 Mac Apps for $39

The controversial MacHeist 3 is coming to a close. It began, as it always does, with a series of secret agent-style missions that end in the reward of free Mac applications.

After the missions were completed, the 12 app bundle was announced–iSale, Picturesque, SousChef, World of Goo, PhoneView, LittleSnapper, Acorn, Kinemac, WireTap Studio, BoinxTV, The Hit List, and Espresso all for USD$39.

Since the then, there have been two bonus apps added (Cro-Mag Ralley and Times). Two more applications are available to those who have purchased and participate in the Tweetblast–they will receive Delicious Library 2 and Multiwinia.

All this is coming to a close in the next day or so, when the MacHeist 3 promotion ends. So far over $600,000 has been raised for charity through sales of the bundle. If you haven’t picked yours up, you’d better hurry.
