EXPLODING MACS ARE BACK

Yes, you heard right. A good friend of mine, and part time contributor to Appletell, James Bayliss, is the latest victim of an exploding laptop. James wasn't hurt or anything other than a small burn on his hand, but both his MacBook Pro and desk have seen better days.

James was sitting at his desk yesterday, reading Digg, when all of a sudden he heard a loud "POP". Immediately after this pop, sparks and flames started shooting out from his MacBook Pro, lighting his desk on fire and giving him a slight burn as he tried to put out the flames. He finally got the fire out, unplugged his MacBook Pro and pulled out the battery and gave Apple Europe a call.

Upon calling Apple, James was transferred through a half dozen departments until he reached someone who claimed to be someone quite high up with Apple Europe. James was asked a large amount of questions over the phone. They asked whether he had to call the fire department, if there was any major damage to his house, what color was the smoke, did the smoke make you sick, did you get hurt, etc. etc. Upon answering these questions, James was told he should be receiving a phone call the following day (Today, March 12, 2008) - which he has just told me he did not receive.

It's very sad to see Apple fumbling on this one, and we hope James gets everything sorted out, and soon. He's currently stuck using his dads Vista laptop. We'll keep you updated on the situation as it happens. You can check out a interview that James did with Chris Pirillo yesterday following the event at Chris' blog.

Update: James has gotten in contact with Apple who is sending him a new laptop, as soon as he returns his current one.

Can any Macbook user help me? want to buy one but have some question b4 buy it.

- How durable is it?
- Can it easily change colour to yellowish? if yes, how to clean it?
- How is the weight? suitable for anyone to carry around?
- If the Macbook on and we close the screen how fast it will react when we open it?
