Now who's dumb enough to pay that much for a device? :facepalm:

Yeah, you like that, don't you?

How utterly impractical. Unless....

There is also a boat covered in gold and platinum, with a t-rex bone statue and wall made of a meteor. 3 billion iirc.

So what happens when the iPad 3 comes out?

Somewhere out there someone is selling a kidney and half their liver for this thing.

It becomes a fossil

What a waste of resources.

I'd have a good laugh if some poor sap bought that and it turned out to be defective.

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 9:56 am

I wouldn't buy it 'cause I wouldn't like PETA throwing blood on me

. On the plus side, it'd be rock solid.

There's also an Xbox 360 out there with Lara Croft on it, and she's made out of diamonds. Crazy people and making their electronics expensive. Aren't they already expensive enough!

I bet for the same price you could build 100 ridicolously awesome desktop gaming PC's with 4-way SLi, yet people rather want a single Xbox :rolleyes:

Its worth pointing out that we're not the target audience (not most of us, anyway

). The sort of person who'd buy this is the sort of person for whom $8M is a fraction of their wealth.

Also, there's a reasonable chance that it's value would remain steady, as it is a unique artwork.

*rimshot*

Also that's pretty pointless. I understand the price of an item made with those materials but using them on something like a iPad. A piece of technology that will be outdated in the years to come. Would of been better to make a 8 million dollar paper weight which is what it will become.

prehistorical waste of money

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 6:26 am

Hooray for destroying historical artifacts so the overly rich can flaunt their wealth! :facepalm:

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 3:29 am

Oh Christ. If it's no longer in the shape of a bone, it's just a [censored] rock! I hope this thing is DOA for whichever sapsvcker orders it.

So if it breaks and you send it in to Apple repair, and you get it back with a new casing, what do?

Yeah but your rich friends won't be impressed by that unless they are all nerdy like us! So the diamond encrusted Xbox 360 and Dinosaur Bone iPad it is.

I think it was futurama bu it reminds me of some guy shouting pull and destroying the Mona Lisa.

That's just... well terrible. :nope:

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 9:29 am

You had me at dinosaur bones.

» Sat Jul 30, 2011 6:10 am

Anyone else think its a waste to make an Ipad out of DINOSAUR bones?
