Unsafe Magsafe

Oh hey, check out what happened to my MacBook Pro's Magsafe adapter two feet away from my face last night! :D

How did that happen? Not good since the same adaptor is about a foot and a half from my face as I type.

I wasn't awake for it, so I can't describe the melting in detail.. but over the last month or so, a few little bumps or kinks had formed near the end of the cable. And over the course of about a week, the end started to seperate from the collar near the plug and you could see the the small metal wires inside start to fray.

So, from what I can put together, no one thing caused this... just 6 months of wear from normal use and boom: Melting Magsafe

The same thing has happend to me too... TWICE!!
Both times Apple has replaced my power adapter. A really bad design IMO. My third connector has a slightly longer rubber tubing just next to the connector. I hope that design will make it last a little longer. I've had my MBP for a little bit more than a year now.

Could'nt this be a fire hazzard? This could be big trouble for apple...
