Hi,
I'm looking for an article, an application note from one of the big companies I think (ADI, National...)
They mentioned a Murphy's law for electronics, in about 10 points. One being "transistors blow to protect the fuses" another is something like "prototypes always work in the lab and never during presentations"
does anyone remember what article it was? I'm looking for it
thanks!

I originally saw this in QST, probably 20 years before you were born.😉 It might be worth searching over at the ARRL site if they've archived old issues.
Though not specific to electronics, this is the definitive list I'm most familiar with:
Murphy's Laws

😀 ... I especially like: "II.5. Firmness of delivery dates is inversely proportional to the tightness of the schedule."
Conrad's link is the same text as what's presented here, in what I think is the best app note ever.....

thanks guys, but unfortunately that's not the file I was looking for 🙁
the one I remember is an old application note (maybe something else) and is not in written but "scanned" format. the murphy's law for electronics are given at the beginning of the document and are not longer than half a page.
SY: please don't refer to my age, I just went 25 so I feel like an old fart now 😛
BTW; how's life on the other side of the ocean? drop me a line when you're going to europe

There is another law that complements Murphy’s law: The law of conservation of trouble. I don’t know who ever did put up this law but it says:
“The amount of trouble within a system is constant”

I've got underwear older than that.
"A dropped tool will land so as to cause maximum damage." AKA, "The Law of Selective Gravitation."
Speaking Murphy's old cloths: " ... I've got underwear older ..." ... and I've got several Y2K / "Byte Me" T-shirts. 😀
An amendment for sailors: " A dropped tool will cause maximum damage or fall in the water ..." 😱

Yes. Once the initial stiffness and stickiness subside after putting back on in the morning, due to the body heat...they get very smooth and fluid in terms of comfort zone. Periodically, larger chunks of the 'grease' and such have to be removed, as they gum up the lubrication zone and cause premature chafing. If this is done in a fastidious manner, the designated one year wear period can be reached.
Note: For the more daring....chafing can also be considered as part of the lubrication 'process', if allowed to progress to open sores. At that point stiffness can develop as a serious problem upon attempts at physical motion after the rest period. This 'morning stiffness' issue can be more problematic with the more extended rest periods (ie, after a 40oz of Rye Whisky), due to more pronounced drying of the lubricants. Constant secretion of lubricant is the only effective way to ameliorate this issue. Thankfully, incontinence during the Rye induced extended rest period is common, and the desired lubrication takes place in a near automatic manner.

great tip.
But I've found that leaving them on permanently, allows the skin to attach itself (grafting) to the now "life-supporting" nutrient-rich fabric........and slowly vanishing from sight.
Result ? underwear purchases have been reduced to 2 -3 year spans.

well, this thread is another example of Murphy's Law.....
