It is almost like August is almost over and Apple's legal team wants to head out on vacation so they are clearing their docket of lawsuits out.  In line with yesterday's announcement that Apple would be replacing iPod Nanos with bad batteries, it looks like if you have a frayed MagSafe power adapter, you can go pick yourself up a new one.  You didn't throw away that broken Magsafe adapter did you?  From Apple's website:

...Whether your product is in or out-of-warranty, you can take your adapter (you don't need to take the computer) to an Apple-Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. You may be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store. To make a reservation, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/.

I saw that article in Apple page some half a year ago, I called Apple support and they changed my magsafe adapter for my first generation mbp. and I got the updated version, which is a lot smaller than original I had before :)

Apple Products made in Chinese Factories have now started to explode! Could this be because Apple's iTunes store sells music, audio books etc. that talk about Tibet!!!

Almost all of the factories in China, where Apple's products are made, are owned by Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) -- the military arm of the Chinese Government.

May be it is time that Apple starts looking for manufacturing its products in other countries where the manufacturing quality standards are free from possible governmental interference and booby traps!!!
