I don't understand. From the article:
According to Liberation.fr (english translation), as reported on ZDNet,
the odor being emitted from Mac Pros manufactured before 2008 includes a
number of chemicals including Benzene, a known carcinogen that in high
doses is lethal.
So we're saying the same thing... I think? If the report is unconfirmed, then this article is extremely objectionable because the implication is that Mac Pros kill people (which would rightfully freak people out), but there is no supporting evidence. So therefore, the story might as well have been completely made up.
- davidw 18y agoLike I said, it's a sensationalist article. Without knowing the composition and quantities involved, it's impossible to say anything with certainty.
- palish 18y agoCorrect, but it's impossible to say anything with absolute certainty. However, we can judge the probabilities based on our previous experiences. So my assertions are: - There are claims that Mac Pros emit an odor that contains Benzene. - It's unlikely that the amount of Benzene is enough to be statistically dangerous, or even the source of the odor itself. - Therefore, this article is pointless.
