What you wrote could be read differently: You could have been implying that your MacBook runs so cool, and your experience has been so good regarding that aspect, that you forgot there are laptops out there that don't offer the same experience.

it can cause harm, in an emergency situation when you need an ambulance or something.. OH NOO, I just wrecked my car and I'm wedged in the front seat with my legs almost chopped off and have to worry about how to hold my phone calling 911 (now wishing you still had a Startac).

Antenna problem or laptop that causes burn? Which one do you think?

Comparing the two 'problems' doesn't make sense. I'm sure that if the iphone starts to cause physical harm once you touch it, then Apple would recall them immediately.

This is the same issue with anti-apple peeps that compares Apple to Toyota...oh yeah, let's compare having an antenna problem with car defects that causes deaths. It's getting silly.

What makes you think its about "pride" with Apple? Do you have any PROOF of this claim?

The answer of course is NO. You like the rest of the fandroids just want to attack Apple like theres no tomorrow over a stupid little mistake thats not even affecting the majority of iPhone owners.

More importantly its not like the iPhone "issue" that have generated such manufactured outrage from non iPhone users (oh the irony) are capable of causing PHYSICAL harm like these pos sony laptops.]]>Jun 30th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/sony-to-recall-half-a-million-too-hot-to-handle-vaio-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/sony-to-recall-half-a-million-too-hot-to-handle-vaio-laptops/Im going to have to disagree with you on that.
