Like I said....NOTHING WILL PROVE IT!!! Very good or bad device is involved with a problem especially worse than this. It's called caring for customers.

By best guess is that it has to be a certain design flaw or reaction that is new to gadgets especially the material used. After all, you learn something new everyday especially when it comes to new technology like no other before which can be breathtaking, but also not perfect which is why it keeps evolving until it gets as perfect as possible.

I don't see your point. You're expecting them to say Shit happens like you want them to sound cruel. Now that is a shitter attitude compared to fixing something for free. Of course it has nothing to do with warranty at all.

:) they F-big do say shit happened to me and all other MacBook owners!!!! When the battery swollen and twist the MacBook chassis they do tell us Shit Happend we can’t do anything!!!! No it’s not true!!! The least they could do is to design it with space for expanding or some relive valve (which is dangerous) or at least they could do is bolts that snaps under pressure so that the back cover pop-up when the battery slowed!!!
