iPhone catches fire or burns?

[Mactech]

Okay, I just had some co-worker ask me if I had read up on iPhones that are catching fire or having some sort of electrical issue? I looked on google and could not locate the article. I think I will call B S on this one unless anyone here has heard or read about it.

Yeah I thought so, I did not spend that much time googleing for it but I did not locate any news about this potential issue within the 5 minutes I did search.

Sounds like a very jealous co-worker. Sounds like the type who would drop it for you the first chance they get... be afraid... be very afraid...

Reminds me of this kid that decided to mow the lawn with his iPod in a thunderstorm.

I remember people trying to blame the iPod because it "attracted" lightning.

so many iPhone haters it's sickening. My co worker goes "i heard the battery lasts like 6 months". I replied, the damn phone hasn't even been out that long!

they should buy a zune, that doesn't attract anything. It does such a good job detering consumers, I am sure it would also repel lightning

376 of NY pop. will Die of lightning strike

I did the math on how many people die from lightning. If 1 in 5000 get struck and 10% die then 1 in 50000 people's causes of death is by being struck by lightning.

There are 18.8 Million people that live in NY. Divide 18800000 by 50000 and you get 376. So they are trying to say that of the 18.8 people alive today in NY, 376 will die from being struck by lightning.

Just thought it was a funny thing to figure out and I have wayyy to much time at work
