Toxic Fumes From Mac Pros?
Fanboi Killa writes "Apple is investigating damning claims, published in a leading French newspaper, that its computers emit a toxic odor containing chemicals including the cancer-causing benzene. Apple has not denied the accusations. Its spokesman, Bill Evans, told Macworld the company had not found any evidence to support the claim but Apple would continue to investigate. Posts on Apple's own discussion boards suggest the Mac maker knew about potentially toxic odors being linked to its computers as early as December last year."
It's just the smell of smug.
I thought we'd known that Apples give off ethylene forever. What's one more gas?

Further studies show that the fumes also cause a false sense of self worth and belonging as well as an elitist attitude.

The smell has been variously described as "new car smell", "musty", "rotting carpet" and even cannabis.
So, computer geeks smelled something musty, rotting, or something similar to pot. Uh, that's nothing new. They probably just need to clean up their rooms and smoke outside.
Guess that one was misleading.
I was in the Apple store when I was in Paris recently, and I let an SBD rip.
Apple goods are infused with narcotic addictive fumes, so you'll KEEP ON BUYING THEM. And you can't complain under the NDA. Because Apple is EVIL.
