Is waterproofing electronics a good idea?

NeverWet is the almost magical product that seems to repel all liquids from almost any surface. The company demonstrated waterproofing an iPhone, but how well does it work in the real world?

Becky Stern and Phil Torrone from Adafruit wanted to find that out, so they tested it on some gadgets.

Comedy website College Humor put together a short video showcasing some of the best videos of dogs that have been uploaded to social networks. Check it out.
