Cool, MacBook palmrests cracks!

Due to a design flaw (no, people in the IT industry call these stuff "features"), the MacBook cover/screen closes down to hit on a piece of weak plastic, so after a year or two's use, it cracks, just as in the photo in the link...

Well, mine hasn't cracked, but sagged down to form a groove at that place, maybe it'll crack in some more months. (It's my 2nd piece of plastic, got a free change when it turned from white to gray to a greasy yellow)

But this is when the Apple extended protection plan comes into work, 5 year warranty :) Good thing I already figured out that Apple was never good at producing quality hardware, contrary to what fanboys are saying. I bought the MacBook just for the Mac OS X, and knew that warranty is a must to support Apple's hardware.
