Oh yes, because glue takes up so much less space than a screw.

That's like a car manufacturer saying that exhaust pipes clog up too often, so let's just pump the smog into the passenger cabin instead.

Except that Apple computers don't kill people.

I've got three Macs currently, none of which have ever overheated. I use a MacBook Pro on my lap while wearing shorts for hours at a time. It gets warm, but not too warm to use on my lap.

You seem angry about Apple's choices, and clearly they're far from perfect, but it seems like there are a lot of people who value the things Apple does, like very quiet operation and compactness and so on. We're not all as stupid as you suggest.
