So how can the Fifth Estate use the best of Fourth Estate with new challenges faced by community and social media? Compelling stories will showcase technological innovations and where there are concerns about best practices needs. Stories reach from the regular user to business to government, policy and law.

Just when I thought it was safe to leave Apple iPhone 4 alone, a blog shows that the adaptor catches on fire!

iPhone 4 Adaptor

Click the report from Technology Blog of the adaptor flaming immediately after it is plugged in.

I've written extensively about the company's campaign to "friend" customers instead of fixing problems. The most reasonable customer should demand a refund, unless, of course, the adapter is a knockoff. Apparently, they can catch on fire too. There have been cases of occasional Apple power adapters catching on fire for many years.
