Briefly: New MBP adapter, Duke/iPhone solved
In brief: Apple has begun shipping a new MagSafe power adapter for the MacBook Pro with the model number MA938LL/A. The new 85W adapter is significantly smaller than the old iteration, appearing physically similar to the 65W adapter included with 13" MacBooks. In early June, Apple debuted a new line of MacBook Pros, some of which include LED-based screens and offer significantly better battery life. The new adapter appears to be compatible with both newer and previously released MacBook Pro models ... Meanwhile, Apple is stating that the Duke University's wireless problem reportedly involving a few Apple iPhones has been resolved. However, according to a NetworkWorld report, neither Apple nor Duke have released any details about the cause of, or solution to the problem. A Duke spokesperson said "We are still trying to get details about this ourselves." Duke IT officials originally claimed that 18,000 requests per second from the built-in 802.11b/g iPhone wireless adapters periodically flood sections of the university's wireless network with MAC address requests, taking down numerous access points simultaneously.

BTW, of the six 85W adapters I have here in my house, none of them have exploded or burned. And I know of nobody else who's had that problem. But nice try at making up some FUD for your post-whoring spree. How about shutting the fsck up when you have nothing to say?
Can't you just shoot yourself in the face or something? It would be a true benefit for mankind. And while you're at it shoot your parents too for not aborting you 14 years ago.
Testudo likes pissing people off. He had it coming. Yawn just made the mistake of giving him what he's looking for.
