Frenchman takes Apple to court

Why did my perfect Iphone explode?
Mon Nov 16 2009, 11:15

A MIFFED Apple customer has taken the fruit-themed peddler of a smug lifestyle to court to ask why his Iphone exploded.

According to the AP, the lawyer representing the man, Patrick Luciani has asked the court to appoint an independent expert to investigate the device's safety.

Apple has opposed the move saying that the incident is the subject of a police fraud inquiry. It is not clear who called the cops on the bloke who was involved in a court case with Apple at the time.

Luciani said his client wanted a neutral expert to tell him what caused this problem and tell him whether he can continue to use this type of telephone.

Several French Iphone users have claimed in recent months that touchscreens have exploded, including one who claimed to have been hurt by flying glass.

Apple said that there is no evidence of a design flaw because Steve Jobs said the gear was perfect in his sight. Besides there have been too few explosions for anyone to get upset about.

French authorities have not found any evidence that the phones are liable to explode without the application of an "external force". µ

Non removable batteries

One reason I will not buy any of their overpriced Chinese crap. I will not buy a camera that has a sealed proprietary battery either. AA & AAA rechargeable batteries are cheap and you can always get some alkaline ones in a pinch.

The usual FUD

Why don't you report about other brands' telephones exploding everyday? My SE explodes day in and day out, but you never talk about that.
Besides, why don't these french-euro-commies stop milking the american cash-cows?

(/Sarcasm. For Apple Fanboys, that means End-of-sarcasm. Ffor more info about sarcasm, Apple-Fanboys should have a look at Wankypedia, aka "the fake penis experts", if that's allowed by Holy Saint Steve).

And now, for something completely different

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
