Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? 240
An anonymous reader writes "Even with all these exploding Dell notebooks and other notebook safety problems, Apple has seemed relatively immune. Every once in a while, some odd thing came along, but it seemed like relatively calm waters. Not anymore — Apple's notebook power adapters appear to be the source of some serious safety concerns. Every iBook and PowerBook user should read this and keep a close eye on their adapter — the adapters suffer from very poor design including wires that seem prone to short out and burn and zero short circuit protection."

What's Dell got to do, got to do with it? (Score:5, Funny)
Dell and other PC notebooks suck and blow, but mostly Dell, cause that Dell guy said something bad about Apple, which makes them the worst. So we all know that Dells exploding and killing puppies and children is just another Tuesday.
Of course Apple has always been perfect. Many people even actually sit around wondering just how it is they stay so perfect. I know because I'm in a club. That's why it just boggles they mind that somehow something isn't perfect with the power adapter. Probably because they got it from Dell. So just know it's less than absolutely perfect and keep an eye on it.

The thought that one of Apple's many chinese hardware subcontractors could possibly have made a boo boo in a small batch is utterly inconcievable!11!!!!
I say anyone who questions the quality of Apple's hardware is an M$ shill.

I owned a Dell laptop that never caught fire.

Then again, I'm using Mac and Linux machines where "antialiasing" means something other than "blur" (and where "power adapter" means "timebomb" apparently).

No. As you may recall, Apple had a power adapter safety recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission back in the G3 era, and a battery recall last year.
