>So Apple's official position is that jailbreaking makes your iPad catch fire, and that's "Not their problem anymore".
 Yep, it just works, unless you jailbreak. Then the SOFTWARE MODDING causes HARDWARE FAILURE. Or according to Apple at least.

Well, of course it melts when you send fucking 2A through two asstinyshit wires.

Coming right after the iphone USB doing the same thing (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/07/08/iphone-4-catches-fire/) I have to wonder if apple's engineers understand basic electronics. Voltage / current regulation on this scale only requires a few cheap components, e.g. L200C. Short of splicing your iproduct directly into the mains this just shouldn't be able to happen.

Maybe Steve just can't tolerate the extra $1/unit materials cost.

Apple has problems differentiating software and hardware.
