MagSafe no more?
No, it's not the return of the "Flaming PowerBook 5300," but Rogier Mulder -- an early MacBook Pro adopter -- recently returned home to find that the MagSafe power connector on his new MacBook Pro had apparently caught ablaze and melted.
"When I came home today, I found that the magsafe connector was melted," Mulder wrote, also posting photos of the damage on his Flickr account. "Thank god the cats disconnected the Macbook pro during the day (they were probably chasing each other and tripped over the wire)."
Apple was reportedly quick to replace Mulder's MacBook Pro, but in doing so also asked him to remove the photos of the damaged MacBook Pro and MagSafe connector he had published online.
"I am sorry if you do not see the image(s) you might have expected to see," Mulder later wrote on his Flickr account. "The reason for this is that Apple, after dealing with this issue, kindly requested me to remove the pictures at least until their engineers had a change to investigate this issue. Since Apple support has been very helpful and already is getting me a new Macbook asap, I'm happy to answer their request."
For those interest in viewing the damage, Wired's Leander Kahney has reposted the images.
I got that from appleinsider.com

Right there is the link to the reposted pics. Has this happened to anyone here?
