Recently, i have seen MANY macbooks exploding. The question is should you be worried?

On one hand this isn’t very pleasent.

I was watching Chris Pirillo’s stream and he was talking to someone whos’ Macbook had just exploded. I sent him an email with the contents of this page. This is no laughing matter. This is very unpleasent, but on the other hand, Apple has been VERY nice to those affected. I think that portability is emphesized with a lack of “what if” thinking. What if the laptop was in an aircraft where everything is constantly expanding and there is no room for battery expansion and the battery explodes? What is some plastic falls on the processor an shorts it out? What if someone jars the laptop and a critical component like the fan fails and the board overheats? Hmmmm… Back to R&D? I don’t kno. That is for Apple to decide. You do need to know not to leave your laptop on for more than 3 days at a time. If you see strange battery behavor, don’t hesitate to call Apple. Something like this could be a potential danger to you or those you love. Apple may be nice to the “victims” but if someone were to be seriously injured, how could they fix that? It may sound like i’m coming down a little hard in Apple, but blame is not the game. This is very important. If you have friends with Macbooks or iBooks, etc., tell them about this. Send them a link to this page. Do it. Please. For their safety. After all, they are your FRIENDS arn’t they?
