Your Notebook Has Too Much Fire Power

No, it's not a picture from the middle east.

You know your notebook has too much fire power when it can torch your truck like this.

Dell is taking much of the heat from this self-burning notebook phenomenon. According to Dell, the culprit is the lithium-ion batteries made by Sony.

Dell Will Recall Batteries in PC's by Damon Darlin - August 15, New York Times. I guess it actually means Notebooks or Laptops. Anyhow, you got the idea.

Maybe my next computer won't be a laptop or notebook until the whole lithium-ion thing got sorted out.
