The last time Apple had some serious machine cracking going on was way back in the Cube days (unless you want to talk about those minor incidents early on with the nanos) but here's a disturbing new one: MacBooks with exteriors starting to crack and distort the chassis under normal usage conditions. A couple of users on different forums are reporting cracks in nearly identical locations of their week 23 MacBooks, but it's still yet to be seen just how wide spread this one really is. Even after the heat and rebooting issue and the discoloration, we're still not really ready to throw in the towel on the MacBook, but we hope Apple has a solution to this one waiting in the wings.

Now we can only wait for the PC vs Mac Guy video where the PC Guy is sitting in the chair and the Mac guy is kinda staring around swearing at everything that passes, when the PC Guy looks at him and says, "Dude, you're cracked."

And then we can have a slow pan in on the worksmanship flaw of the Macbook.

haha... But no, you'll never see that. Just stupid commercials where they advertise their littly magnetic power connector and you name it.
