Cool [Yahoo Tech] Smoking near your Mac can void warranty
Quote:
Heads up, schmokers: Lighting up near your computer is heresy enough that Apple says it voids your warranty should you need to bring a smoke-exposed computer in for repair.

I thought this was a little ridiculous

How will they know if you smoked near your Mac? does smoke really bake into the Mac casing or something?

You have never opened up a computer of a person who smokes have you? Not only can you tell by the horrible smell coming from the computer, it also cakes on tons and tons of black crap everywhere. Fans, heat sinks, motherboard, etc.
