Default German users claim MacBook Air can cut through bread, flesh
http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/g...h-bread-flesh/

by Joshua Topolsky, posted May 27th 2008 at 8:39AM

Now, we know that the MacBook Air 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.

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

^^ 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

It’s an Apple product so heat is never a problem. For all we know, it might already be a toaster.
