COMPUTER giant Apple is refusing to honour warranties on broken machines belonging to smokers.

Apple has already declined to work on at least three machines in the US, claiming the insides were so heavily coated in tar and potentially poisonous substances they posed a health risks to technicians working on the machines.

Work safety authorities say any employer has the right to prevent employees performing tasks considered hazardous to their health.

That potentially opens the way for other computer manufacturers as well as other industries to implement similar policies against smokers, with several PC repair shops prepared to follow Apple's stance.

IF you loved Michael Jackson's music, now you can wear the king of pop's fragrance - thanks to a perfume that has been made using DNA samples from his hair.
A Los Angeles-based company called My DNA Fragrance claims to engineer scents from human genetic codes.
The firm recently joined forces with John Reznikoff, who has the world's largest collection of historical hair, including some of the late singer's.
It claims on its website: "DNA can be extracted from hair shafts with or without the follicle intact.
"My DNA Fragrance has analysed Reznikoff's private collection of celebrity hair and is now engineering exclusive fragrances of each celebrity."
They are selling perfume they say has been made from hair from Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Napoleon Bonaparte and even Edward IV.
