That&#8217;s also why I don&#8217;t have any gadgets in my home that aren&#8217;t totally destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I made all of that up for dramatic effect because I actually prefer my stuff to work, but the guys over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macweekend.com\/BlogMW\/index.php\/weekendfeature\/watch-me-throw-my-nexus-7-off-of-a-parking-garage\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mac Weekend<\/a> have no such petty qualms about this sort of thing and decided to lob a Nexus 7 off a parking garage just to see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody know what happens, of course, but it&#8217;s about the <em>experience<\/em>. In total honesty, if I could afford to drop things off buildings whenever I wanted to, I&#8217;d probably get nothing else done. Humans crave wanton destruction like that &#8211; how else do you explain relationships, reality TV, or fast food?
