.....why do you always beleive everything you read man????
there has been ONE source of this and it was tested by ONE (arguably biased) lab.
Brilliant. I'll be nicking that phrase.
Sadly the xenophobic comments appear to have arrived even earlier.
Smell ehhh...
That scientist what he didn't realized that his mouth is closer to his nose than the laptop his holding. So he has to investigate first where that smell really came from, maybe from his mouth. You know those scientist they never took care of themselves like basic stuff: brushing, showering, changing clothes that's why they always look weird.

Had a few white Intel iMacs, we had to move them elsewhere as they had a very weird smell that made people feel sick.
The front of your nose smelt it, made some cough.

Massive hysteria anyone?
Its funny to see this happening hehehe. I have 3 Mac Pro's and give service to several dozens and never found any strange odor another than a dirty office or anything apart from the machine itself.

I don't know about you but smoke is what makes a computer work. That is why whenever you do something to let the smoke out, your computer stops working.

Possibly, but there are also other things that happen as a result of manufacturing failures -- plastics will emit an unusual / unacceptable amount of hydrocarbon materials if they were not cured properly. It's also not uncommon to read occasionally about limited batches of consumer products having unusual residual amounts of cleaning agents typically used to clean various parts of the manufacturing apparatus.
Most of the causes for an unusually high amount of heavy molecule emission from a product like this (when it isn't actually on fire or overheating at the moment) are along those lines -- manufacturing failures that are not indicative of design flaw and which can come and go.
So I wouldn't write it off immediately. If the evidence can be validated with a sniffer, then Apple will be able to date code it and identify the affected computers, and its wholly appropriate for them to be recalled.
I wonder if its that new electronic smell that some devices tend to emit(VCR's are one example I can think of). That smell is deadly.
Who else is surprised the French would complain about odour?
