Attention Apple owners and Mac fanboys: Apple has issued a recall yesterday for their Ultra-compact USB chargers. Apparently the prongs have been breaking off and getting stuck in outlets, putting people at risk  of electric shock. Yikes! Apple is advising everyone to stop using them immediately, which is kinda stupid since they won’t be replacing them until October 10 (via web or in-store exchange). So, uh, if you depend on one of these, we guess you’ll be going without power for a while, or maybe you’ll just put yourself at risk by being the defiant rebels you are. Those who own the original iPhone, or overseas iPhone 3Gs take a little relief in knowing the ones provided in the box with their phones aren’t affected. Whew!

Thanks, to everyone that sent this in!
