I mean, the wallpaper really is resistant and all, but the main reason why the wall isn't colapsing is because that wallpaper is anchored.
Also, those brick walls could be taken out with a punch or even less force without the paper... so they can't really be used as comparison (it breaks the wall but doesn't break the wallpaper).
I'm not saying the product is a hoax, but just about any thicker plastic sheet would have the same effect.
@Bokusatsu_Tenshi: That's kind of the point. Of course it's going to be anchored or it would just fall apart. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I disagree that just plastic would do what that stuff does. I'm sure it's a whole system and not just the "wallpaper" that stops the damage. #bombproofwallpaper
If I was still in the Army, and living in a tent somewhere, I would *so* wall-paper my entire tent with this. In fact, never mind the canvas, just make the entire tent out of bombproof wallpaper! #bombproofwallpaper
Seriously, the writers at Gizmodo need to read up on the difference between "clip art" and "stock photos". I've seen the Snow Leopard cover called "clip art" so many times it makes me want to cry... I expect better. #windows7art
@Samiam303: I imagine that calling it clip-art is also meant to disparage the amount of effort that went into designing the Snow Leopard box. "LOL! All they did was just open Word and slap in a pic from the clip art gallery!"
The clip art gallery does have photos, after all. #windows7art
@G.O.B.: Come on!: Yeah, I understand they're trying to make a point... but the same point could be made by saying they slapped a stock photo on there, and it would actually be using the right term. #windows7art
Looks like another lousy knockoff of an Apple concept except they're blowing their own horn with a Windows logo on it. Not a single Apple desktop image has an Apple logo in it. Why? Mac users don't need to be reminded of the machine they're using. #windows7art
@RogueWarrior: Goddamn brilliant!!! That MUST be why I never forget that I am using a PC!! Because unlike my MacBook Pro, my PC has windows logos everywhere you look! How stupid could I have been to not see this all along? Do not forget that your Mac has an APPLE logo in the upper left hand of your screen at ALL TIMES, it acts very much like the windows start button. Oh, and don't forget the Mac two-tone face thingy logo that pops up every time you start your macbook and that very same logo is used for your finder icon. #windows7art
Apple needs to have an LCD panel on the iMac that is a window to the components behind it when "off" and when "on" is a standard LCD monitor. Don't bother me with geeky details of why this cannot be done - surely Steve can whip his engineers until they make it happen. #imacinternalswallpaper
@Monty: This is false advertising. I tried this lovely picture as my background and while it looks pretty it still did not turn my Thinkpad into an iMac. Oh, and a word of advice, licking your carpet all day long will not necessarily turn you into a ... Once again, more false advertising. #imacinternalswallpaper

Video is really misleading...

The video proves nothing. #bombproofwallpaper
