White MacBooks Turning Yellow

I was browsing Ebay, looking for an iSkin for my mothers PowerBook and I feel like I saw a skin for the new Macbook that the silicone goes down over the palm rests. And now I cant find it for ANYTHING! Anyone know anything about the skin? or is it all in my head?

i have had my white ibook for one month now and it is strting to stain. I do not smoke or even talk with anyone who smokes so that is not it. i thought maybe it was just me until i decided to do a search. it's gross. i cannot get mine off. some of you poeple out there need to be a little more open-minded and stop assuming everything is a "fake." (this is about the picture being fake, my ibook looks just like that)

I am new to Mac and I just recently purchased the Mac Book (White). I've only had it for like 3 weeks and it is starting to turn slightly yellow at the palm rests. I can guarantee that my hands are clean as I tend to wash my hands quite a bit. I also do not put an oils or lotions on my hands. I called Apple about it and they told me that they are looking into the problem and gave me the option of getting my money back or having the case replaced. I plan on getting the case replaced but I don't see this not happening again. If I could, I would have bought the black one. I just don't feel like going through the process of returning it only to purchase a black one.

I'm not thoroughly convinced that the article by Softpedia isn't just a hoax to drive people to their site. Any confirmation by Apple that they are correcting this problem?

I had this on a DELL Latitude D600, on the palm rests. i thoguth it was to do with my skin or somthing. when they changed the plastic (for an unrealtted touchpad problme) the problem has never reoccured. They must have changed the plastic, or it was a dud peice to start with

Well, All said and done. Damien I am sure you must have seen the new macbook now. I am going crazy whether to go with the book or pro. I am a physician will probably use it surfing the net, word processing, movies. photo editing, movie editing from ilife only. may be use it to view some images from the hospital if i can.
I have read some blogs claiming that macbook is sufficient for all this provided i bump up the Ram to 2Gb

Have the macbook for three weeks now, no stains whatsoever... Untill yesterday a friend who wrote something on his hand made a huge stain on my beautiful new computer...
after trying lots of cleaning products, aceton-free nailpolish remover appeared to work perfectly!
So now I feel obliged to let people know this works. Maybe it'll work on the yellow stains as well.

It's rather simple why the macbooks are turning yellow.

All white plastics turn after use, time, etc.
I would never buy an all white plastic anything not for that fact, but I don't like white.

The way the Macbooks are turning yellow is due to the same chemistry as men's shirts. It's called "ring around the collar". There is a whole chemistry on this.
Plastics shouldn't turn like that, but who knows. Heat/sweating palms/hours of use/ white/bacteria/hours of use/plastic?/heat/etc.

I guess the Macbooks have a ring around the collar also.

Whenever I use a notebook, no matter how good the trackpad is (and on the macbook it's great) i like to use a mouse.

There are so far 16 people that have reported this problem on Apple discussion forums. I have made a website to try gather all the people affected and try to pressure Apple into recognising this problem exists.

It is NO normal or expected that a MacBook turns that DAMAGED after 1 or 2 weeks of normal usage. Most of us are clean people who wash their hands often (otherwise, would we care how filthy our Macs looked!!!?)
