Obviously not hard enough, I found my favorite as the second result on google for "software to wipe hard drive"

Well if your running Linux, or maybe you could find this for Windows too, there's this program called 'wipe' which works very well for me.....

Dban is what I would suggest. It writes random shit over the entire hdd then formats it. You could also have it pass twice

With hard drives it's easy - use dban like suggested by Daemon.
With cellphones might be a bit tricky, I don't know of any tools to wipe internal memory but you could throw that shit into the microwave and cook it a bit. Remove SD card if present and crack it in half.
Phone should be pretty unusable and unreadable after a minute in the microwave... but I'm not sure... maybe techb could shed some light on how to effectively destroy memory chips.

Toss the shit in the river. First theyd have to find it, then theyd have to try and recover it after its been under several hundred gallons of water...GL lol

Lol yeah unless you're living next to the lake, I don't think this is a good idea... to throw it out the window. Guess the sink works? but I would throw it in the microwave instead.

Lol run it through your garbage disposal xD.  I've used dban before, it's pretty nice I must say :)
