A little historical note. In the 1990s. when Apple had a similar notebook problem -- Powerbooks caught fire and damaged the company's reputation at the time -- the problematic Powerbook acquired a funny nickname inside the company: "The Hindenbook." Inside of Apple, I was told at the time (thought it may be only part of the Apple urban legend), the code name for the follow-on laptop model was "The Apology."
