Server Site Explosion at ThePlanet.com

Monday, June 2nd, 2008 by Fuzz

ThePlanet.com, home to over 9,000 website servers, suffered from a transformer explosion on Sunday afternoon. The explosion and subsequent fire at it’s Houston-based H1 Datacenter took all of their servers offline, though they did not destroy any servers. The radio stations’ (WBWI/WBKV) websites were among the thousands of websites that were affected by the blast, and at the time of this post, they are still not fully operational.

Apple MagSafe Fire Hazard

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 by Fuzz

The MagSafe power adapter on my MacBook Pro nearly started on fire yesterday. At the computer end of the cable, a bulge had started to appear and there was a brownish burnt look to it - then the plastic started melting off- and last night it looked like it was about to start on fire. Luckily, there was no damage to my computer.

I have had this computer for about a year and a half. It does get a lot of use, but there’s no reason that even at my moderate level of usage that the power adapter should be starting on fire!

I’m going to the Apple Store as soon as possible to ask them what the hell the deal is!

Here’s a photo I took with my phone (which apparently will only focus on the floor).

I also found a page that highlights some people with the same problems: AppleDefects.com.
