Exploding Macs are Back

We have had exploding Lithium-Ion or Li-On batteries already last year. We have seen incidents where laptop covers can pop due to intense heat pressure... We have also seen laptops explode and cause fires. Yet here we are again with another laptop, a MacBook Pro explosion. As a management information system Apple I think needs to really improve their procedures for handling quality control and make sure these accidents don't happen.

I know Apple can make very good product designs, since they are a company well-renown for designing products like the iPod, iPhone, and now the MacBook Air. But if all of your designs run on some products with possible high defect rates like malfunctioning batteries than the designs won't really matter if those batteries cause the mean time between failures to be so low and happen so frequently. I see a lot of different Apple quality control issues all the time and it all seems to be coming from the hardware aspect of the information systems. They should start thinking about how reliable their products should be...
