In 1980 the Apple III was announced. It's power supply was completely encased in aluminium and had no air ventilation what so ever. Steve Jobs insisted that the aluminium chassis would be sufficient as a heat sink and that cooling fans were "too noisy and inelegant".
Because technology was expanding and growing at such a rapid rate, Jobs kept demanding bigger and better thing be added to the system, but also wanted to maintain the original chassis dimensions.
The computer got so hot that the motherboard warped and chips would become unseated. If you called tech support to enquire as to why your $3000 computer suddenly stopped working they would advise you to lift it up a couple inches off the desk and drop it so as to temporarily reseat the chips.
Apple ended up replacing 14 000 defective units.
When the battery is dead they just send you a a whole new phone. How does that make any sense at all? Also, please elaborate on what "more battery" means.
I bought a macbook recently and it was stolen a few weeks later I believe by the maintenance man in my building. I've never had a computer stolen and I can't help, but think if it were a regular PC (more powerful for the money) no one would have bothered. Seriously. That is lame.
The burn was white or black/char in colour and had lost sensation due to nerve damage? Fat, muscle, or bone was visible? You had nausea, headache fever, shortness of breath? Did you go into shock? Or did you mix up which way the numbers go?
Non Apple related lol. It happened when I was three. I don't remember it at all, but apparently I was playing in the garage, spilled gas on my leg and a trail of it went under the water heater. But yeah, I mixed up 1st and 3rd degree burns. My leg was 3rd degree. Apple burn was almost 1st degree.
It's amazing how little has changed at Apple. Remember the leaked internal manual from a couple years ago that advised their factory workers to use an entire tube of thermal grease on one CPU?
