So you’ve read our extensive BlackBerry Storm review and, despite feeling disappointment about it not living up to the hype, can’t help but wonder just what makes the thing tick click. While we were a bit too squeamish to rip one of ours apart and find out, phoneWreck felt no qualms about turning this week’s hottest handset into a pile of bits, exposing (among numerous other things) the Qualcomm MSM7600 processor that’s blamed for the phone’s sluggish performance. As to how the clicky screen works, it’s rather simple: just a plate behind the display (pictured above) with a dimple to push a button on a circuit board. Never dissect your heroes, kids; it just takes the mystery out of life.

It’s only fair, really. We’ve seen both the DS and the DS Lite exposed under the camera, and now it’s time for the DSi to suffer the same humiliation. As expected, things are pretty packed on the motherboard, and there’s oodles of green underneath the white lettering. For more images of the DSi’s internals (and rainbows, and maybe a few unicorns), give the read link a click.

We’re internet readers. We need larger and larger doses of information injections lest our bodies drop to the floor in Hello Kittyless convulsion. So here’s an entertaining, if not a little superficial, disassembly and reassembly of the new MacBook Pro. Watch it to fulfill your own morbid curiosity of seeing your favorite gadgets autopsied.

Heads-up: this post contains graphics unsuitable for viewing by not-yet-hardened 6 year olds. Now that you’ve read that (and hopefully shielded your youngin’s innocent eyes from the image above), we’re here to tell you that the unspeakable (though inevitable) has occurred. Yes, friends, dear Elmo Live!, which probably won’t be seen selling for MSRP until January of 2009, has been splayed. Torn down. Stripped of every ounce of animality he had. All so that you could see what really makes this bizarre critter tick. You can tap the read link for more, but trust us, the worst is already staring you in the face.

Ah, the natural progression of hot new releases. First comes the wow, then comes the hands-on, and now comes the tear down. The masterful gadget surgeons over at ifixit have taken the time to carefully (and let us reiterate, carefully) undo all the hard work done on the assembly line to put these together, and we just know you’re anxious to see what’s really inside the new machines. Have a look below, and don’t forget to pause and appreciate the scenery.

Of course it
had to happen sooner or later, but we’re a little taken aback that someone at Sony had the temerity to slice open a newborn
Vaio TT and put it on display — in a booth at
CEATEC, no less — for the whole world to see. Righteous indignation aside, the thing is pretty impressive, especially considering that without the Blu-ray drive it would only be about half the size. We have one more pic for you after the break, and be sure to check out our look inside the
Z series while you’re at it.
