im surprised that half the neighbourhood wasnt burnt down to the ground with the ammount of shiny plastic there must have been in there :O)

Macs are fire hazards...

The blokes mistook it for a smoke-easy. Sorry guv, err, your Jobsness.

Any sightings yet?

..someone left an Apple laptop plugged in overnight?


A SCFD dispatcher said the fire was "not very big, but there is going to be a lot of smoke damage."

Ahh.. it occurred in the area where they store the smoke & mirrors.
So, it could be:
(A) Steve's Office
(B) Mobile Me's "There's Nothing Wrong with our servers" department
(C) Wherever they write those magical yarns that Steve spins in MacWorld keynote speeches
(D) where ever they do "bake off" tests.

Wasn't there a reported problem with the laptop power leads burning ?

must have been a macbook pro with a faulty battery AND flawed Nvidia gpu. Its hard to beleave that Dell and HP have been hit with Nvidia mobile GPU failures but not Apple.Of course Apple is not exactly forthcoming with information regarding design flaws.
