MacBook Pro Batteries Swelling and Failing

JohnnyCakes writes "MacBook Pro batteries are apparently swelling, then failing. MacFixIt has some grotesque pictures of their own swollen MBP battery, which looks like it has suffered an internal explosion. Apple is replacing batteries on a case-by-case basis, but hasn't yet admitted any wide-scale issues."

    I've bought firstgen Apple hardware going all the way back to the IIcx - in fact every single Mac I've owned has been a firstgen system.

    I have never had any problems. Take the Mac out of the box and plug it in.

    68000 machines worked flawlessly.
    PPC machines worked flawlessly.

    I don't think Apple really cares about quality anymore now that they have been forced to use these crappy Intel chips.

    Then your "neigbour" is either a complete fucking moron, or you are lying through your ass. Linux is a fucking JOKE compared to OS X and sucks even compared to the shit that is Windows. Why would anyone in their right mind want to "switch" to Linux, rather than away from it?
