....dont forget this is ONE instance. ONE!! This is an isolated incident! The MBP's have been out for a month and this is the first one. I wish people wouldn't freak out about this…

I don't think anybody is "freaking out", not even the dude with the melted power adapter. Strange people these Mac users, can't seem to imagine any scenario where Apple is wrong a…

Guys, look at the other pictures and read the comments. It does not sound like a defect but rather some cat faeces or cat pee caused the short. On the one hand, the supposedly the …

Truth is, we don't know what this is. I tend to doubt that a cat somehow made the MBP combust, but it is true that we don't know what happened here...except that it *looks* like a …

keep an ear out for an mbp that has choked "on vomit"

haha, i just went to have a look and the pics are essentially gone...replaced by some big blocky pixels. Insert consiracy theory! from the link, caution, copyright infringment …

It looks like the cats peed on the connector, shorting it.

Water (or cat piss) and Mag-Safe don't mix.

That happens to me, the cat goes in the shredder. ;p (no animals were harmed in the conception and execution of this post)

The photos can now be seen here. http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/cultofm...try_id=1437672
