Photoshopped? Looks a little extreme to me.

so what? obviously a freak case

I bet he tried to overclock it so he can play WOW and melted it

Now it has made it to appledefects. Here is the story: http://www.appledefects.com/?p=74

Those pics are effin fake!! It's funny how the pics shown are only extreme close ups so we can't see the whole thing. The shell of the LCD display and the body of the computer look…

I doubt it's a fake. At least not by just distorting images of an intact MB in PS. In this image you can see the fastening latch below the bezel. No PS distortion filter will make…

it's obvious that the MacBook malfunctioned, but I don't think it Apple is to blame for it, I mean such things aren't supposed to happen, but they do sometimes, and I think Apple h…

He spelled it correctly the second time, indicating that it was a typo. And he indeed quoted a dictionary definition - that's why he put it in "quotes".

Wow. I wonder how hot it got exactly.

This subject is getting way out of control. We've been running a MacBook around the clock for few weeks in extremely hot weather. We live in the desert and sometimes even use it ou…
