iPhone exploding, is that possible?

Yes, the battery of the iPhone has been reported to “explode” at random occasions ever since its birth.  Apple is claiming that their iPhones do not explode but history says otherwise.  Apple Nanos in South Korea have been recalled in the past due to “faulty” batteries, possibly the ones that explode.

The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards said in a statement that it requested on June 25 that Apple Korea should recall 1st generation iPod nanos following a series of complaints about batteries overheating or exploding.

It’s probably not a big percentage of iPhones that explode and may only affect the ones with battery defects but still, it makes me wonder if it’s safe to get an iPhone anymore.

I will have to stick with Palm Pre for now, which is better at multi-tasking and I can hack it to do more stuff on its native linux system.  Plus, I hate to worry about anything “exploding”.  If Apple denies that world-wide reports are false, they are bunch of liars and I don’t need to be part of that.

Lol, this is a good one. Could your keyboard be 5 TIMES dirtier than your toilet seat? In a recent study done over at UK, that can happen to those who frequently eat and type. (which is me too btw)

I do agree with this, they need to come up with “UltraViolet” keyboards that kill germs while you type.

Anyone who eats a sandwich or piece of fruit having been tapping on such a keyboard can pick up bacteria that could lead to a stomach upset.

The scientist swabbed 33 keyboards for food poisoning bugs e.coli, coliforms, staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteria and compared the results to those found on a lavatory seat and lavatory door handle.

Four of the keyboards were considered a potential health hazard and one was “condemned”.

Two had “warning levels” of staphylococcus aureus and two others had “worryingly elevated” levels of coliforms and enterobacteria, “putting users at high risk of becoming ill from contact”.
