Apple

About thirty minutes ago, I was sitting at my desk. It's a hot summer day, I'm upstairs, and sweaty. My iPod nano was sitting on the desk, connected to my Apple Cinema Display, happily syncing and charging.

I shifted my arm to get a better angle with my mouse, and suddenly OW!

That's odd. The sharp edge of the iPod nano must have hit some nerve in my arm. I picked up the nano and a sharp jolt went right through my hand. Yeeeowch!

That's an electrical jolt. Why is my iPod electrified!? Is my charging cable frayed or defective somehow?

I got a great deal on a used MacBook Pro a while back, and it's a great computer and I love it, but the problem is it doesn't have any built in hardware acceleration for video. So if you are watching a long movie or doing FaceTime or watching a youtube live stream, or whatever, it *really* heats up.

This is a problem when you don't have air conditioning, because it REALLY starts heating up!
