iPhone 3G S Overheating Issue Raises Recall Flag |
|
There’s no debating that the Apple iPhone (News - Alert) 3G S is hot stuff. But some users are reporting that the smartphone is so hot that the device is literally burning up. Stories have been circulating across the Internet on various blogs and forums that some users of Apple’s (News - Alert) next-generation iPhone have experienced problems with their smartphones overheating (see image below). The first known public account of the problem originated in France where one 16GB 3GS user noticed that his phone was hot during use. Later, the owner discovered that the white backing on the device had turned pink-toned near the spot where the battery is stored, the report said. PC World writer Melissa Perenson wrote that while playing “The Oregon Trail” on her 16GB black iPhone, the device heated up so much it became too hot to handle. Do I hear a recall coming? It’s unclear how many iPhone 3G S users are experiencing problems. Based on Apple’s history, a recall could happen. As PC World’s David Coursey wrote, “battery problems are the stuff of which recalls are made and Apple has not been immune from them in the past.” |

AP Exclusive: Insomniac Jackson begged for drug |
|
Michael Jackson was so distraught over persistent insomnia in recent months that he pleaded for a powerful sedative despite warnings it could be harmful, says a nutritionist who was working with the singer as he prepared his comeback bid.
Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse whose specialty includes nutritional counseling, said Tuesday that she repeatedly rejected his demands for the drug, Diprivan, which is given intravenously.
But a frantic phone call she received from Jackson four days before his death made her fear that he somehow obtained Diprivan or another drug to induce sleep, Lee said. |
