“Apple in hot water over exploding iPhones and iPods”

Your iPhone may be the ‘hottest’ piece of technology you own, but overheating lithium batteries can soon put an end to that!

More cases of overheating, cracking and exploding iPhones and iPods have come to light.  Many Apple tried to “hush up” saying the incidents were isolated.

Most recently there have been half a dozen cases reported in France and Apple faces an official enquiry into the matter.

Doesn’t sound too “isolated”, sounding a bit too regular!

I guess with the amount of extra iPhones sold in Australia recently and with summer approaching, it’ll be something to look out for.  But don’t ‘keep your eye on it’. We know it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

“I fell in love in an Apple Store…”

For Apple fans, falling in love whilst in an Apple store would be all too common.

However, this is a love story with a twist. Or in fact just love of a different nature for Apple fans in an Apple store… the real kind!

A song with a clever play on words, iTunes iPhone apps and Apple store favourites. To appreciate it, a love of all things Apple is actually not required.

But if you have three spare minutes and a sense of fun, then take a listen!

But be warned, it’s not very PC. :o

Sorry – blame the tune for that pun!
