Seems resonable - I noticed that I could get mild tingles of the powerbook when it was plugged in on my forearm (I don't notice them on my hands)
(sip)
you plugged it in on your forearm - do you have plugs in your arm to feed power through your fingertips or ?? Cyborg! (grin)

no, don't be daft - I just have the one standard plug at the top of my spine!

I looked at the article.
Me too. What a nothing article. Information-free. Where do the sparks come from? What is the design flaw that makes the cable unsafe? "Apple could not be reached for comment"
- what? Couldn't be arsed to hang on in a phone queue? Where is the comment from an electrical expert explaining why this design is so terrible and will hurt someone? Where is the advice about checking your own cable for faultiness?
The petition says "We, the undersigned, demand that Apple Computers immediately address the obvious and dangerous defect in the so-called "yo-yo" a/c power adapter cords designed for Apple iBook and Powerbook computers which leads to fraying of the cords, exposure of wires, and sparking." but it doesn't bother saying what the "obvious" defect is.
I don't want a picture of some smug law student, I wanna see sparks, I wanna see dead burnt bodies, I want things in my teeth!
They also want replacement of anyone destroyed by the adaptor. heh.
All seems a bit dubious to me.
Btw, I once used a PC, and it turned me into a newt. But I got better.
Hmmm. Could this sparking be due to a) food additives, b) GM foods, c) excessive use of panthenol-based hair products, leading to a reverse reaction, d) secret testing of some security procedure, like the blue ray that jumps at you when you open some envelopes?
You've been warned about mentioning the blue ray. And you didn't change your identity. You have one last chance to erase everything you've learnt about the Ethiopian before...
and if doesn't scare you, then I'll have to write an indignant letter to the Times. You have been warned.

Maybe the students are waiting for a Spontaneous Human Combustion. In fact they should have waited before showing their hand on this one, because that would have been one hell of a lawsuit.

Newtered? Definitely, if the PC police had their way.....

You just don't get it, do you?

PeterD, what happened to your soft, hypnotic 'We Are One'? I thought you knew about the blue ray. The blue ray is, is, is all. It is it, it is beyond the simplicity of mere words. We can all talk about the ray; it is safe, it is good.
