Default Why 3-prong plugs

Why do laptop power supplies, the ones with black rectangular things in

is plastic or "rubber"?

And, I believe, when there's nothing more dangerous than a lamp
underneath the plastic and the rubber? Less dangerous because some
light bulbs ger really hot!


I have a Toshiba Netbook with a small "black rectangular thing" that
is only 2-prong.

The Mac Mini has a large white thing that is 2 prong.
