Now, we know that the MacBook Air (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MacBookAir/) is one thin laptop, but some Apple forum members in Germany are claiming that the edge of the laptop is not only sharp -- but downright dangerous. According to "Apple Talk" reader Bajuware, his MBA went kill-crazy all over his elbow while he was cold-chillin' on his couch. The details are a little hard to suss out due to the language barrier (and machine translation), but it would appear the Air's bottom edge made nasty work of the human flesh like someone had insulted its mother. Another MBA owner claims his computer is sharp enough to slice bread, though we assume it's not used for buttering. Honestly, we're not sure what kind of danger an innocent MacBook Air could really pose besides causing you to throw out your back constantly plugging in the AC to charge that not-quite-as-advertised battery.

paper cuts too, through the flesh :D I had my finger bled while writing journal :(

Is the news true ??? i think the guy must have rubbed it like 100 times to get that cut.

[ArZuNeOs]

Thx for sharing it Mr Bond....

T159 yeah had a similar incident too when i was in school writing record notes...neva bled but cut the top layer of skin

[Pathik]

[BBThumbHealer]

Interesting Article ! ROFL :))

[dOm1naTOr]

Agent 47 will find it more useful. No one will suspect while he can use as kitchen knife.

[nvidia]

My graphics card can burn you all at 109C! :twisted:

[krates]

my comp speaker can blow someone ears :D:D

[dOm1naTOr]

My PC works on electricity which cud fry a chicken. And My PC has some fans rotating fast which cud cut a lizard by half. Also my woofer can blow away as much as 10~20 mosquitos at one time.
And if i sleep keeping my monitor close to me then there are chances it cud kill me[a 17" flat CRT weighing bout 20KG].
All this shows that using a system like mine is no child's play

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ Well, You're saving some money, man!
1. You cut down on cooking gas, since all your chicken is fried by your pc.
2. No Good-Knight and Mortein and All-Out needed, your woofer does those stuff.
3. Only one disadvantage... you need more cleaning liquid for the mess after the lizard is cut...

So that compensates it, you arent really saving money :(

[T159]

mine SMPS actually killed and fried a lizard, fortunately the SMPS still works

[blueshift]

lol funny!

[aditya.shevade]

people would never understand.... :D

[koolbluez]

My lappie can't hurt ppl.. can't cut bread... can't make bread toast either.... can't fry eggs..... can't cut lizards "into half"...... can't drive away bugs....... can't make ice-kubez........ to top all these... it's smaller than InfraRed's PC :(
But the good news is .................................. it works........ great :D

[dheeraj_kumar]

HP exec cuts birthday cake with MacBook Air
by Ryan Block, posted Jun 1st 2008 at 1:16PM



Those that know Rahul Sood, founder of Voodoo PC and CTO of HP's global gaming business, might not be so surprised to hear he used a working MacBook Air to cut his thick, rich, chocolatey birthday cake. While wearing an HP shirt. And then posted it to his site. Good luck, Rahul -- we're totally sure the Apple fanboys of the world are going to give you a pass on this one.

what else is a MacBook Air useful for anyway ?
he is rich, has lots of money to burn, so he used an expensive knife, thats all.:|

[freshseasons]

Whatever happened to apples policy of using round curves on its Devices. The iPhones, iPod, mac books have smooth curves around corners.And now how opposite. Instead of smooth surface directly a cut in flesh.
Is this steves vengence against society?
give me blood and I will give you ifreedom.
