Your a bit agro… if I were to take your approach we should just go out and shoot mean people like you makes the earth an unhappy place.
Now regarding the person with the phone next to their ear… we do not know much about them and to draw alot of mean conclusions about this person demonstrates a lack of higher thinking.
The person is obviously a fan of the iphone or they would not have purchased it. They, being sensitive and probably shocked that their phone heated up and caused them to have a reaction to it, and calling the store… is show of concern for others and the product. Yes demanding the phones be taken off the market is a bit extreme… after all we have to wait for over 1,000 or more people to die from a drug before it even gets considered to be pulled.
With that being said, people have every right to post what happened to them, and should not have to censor their level of experience to match your belief system.
Bring up the McD’s coffee is not relevant. Coffee is expected to be hot (yes she was lacking some smarts) One does not consider their phone to be ‘piping hot’ with use.
Considering the mentality of the heads of corporations who are run by pencil pushers… I would strongly consider that they released a phone with defects. Its all about the number game. That is way we have Actuaries and insurance companies know what to charge folks and the risk, and how much money they are going to make.
I am sure att and iphone are just looking to re-coup their development money and know there is a risk of phones heating up… they are just playing the number game and using your money to do so.
It business, we as consumers have every right to share our experiences and make decisions on our own thoughts.
Lean how to be a bit more kind and considerate. Ask more questions before you just pass judgment.

To Wayne, Unlike typical phone users, I am in the business of unifying Mac OS’s with applications that run on other operating systems such as Windows and Linux, by using virtual machine technology. I also design wide area network applications and show companies how to use hybrid voice over IP, land line based and wireless based telephone systems. What I do for a living requires an intense ability to focus. This focus sometimes makes me oblivious to other environmental conditions. I normally assume that the environment I am working in is safe. Yes I did contact the Attorney General so that other “idiots” like me don’t get hurt. I did not know the McDonald lady had won, thanks for the advice.

To KarenV, I wish I could find this as funny as you do, I had to go to the emergency room a second time this last week, and it may take as long as two months to find out if there were any immediate damages to my health.

To Sumo, I have been a self-employed with my own corporation for over twenty years.

Hopes this allows you to understand my previous comment.
