Exploding Laptop Batteries
Caught this on Yahoo news today, in case you haven't seen it. Gives one cause for concern! http://techtalk.pcpitstop.com/2013/07/24/laptops-are-still-exploding/?laptop%20video=

In the video the demonstrator may have "helped" things along a bit, like ABC on one of the exploding gas tank scandals (Turns out the tank was blown up by an FX expert).
But I used to own a hot new IBM Thinkpad (Still do but now it's a cool thinkpad) where they recalled the batteries for just that reason,, They caught fire, sitting on a bench, no additional heat, attended or not.
Mine was recalled BEFORE it flamed on.. But alas, there are other issues with that computer just now, Soon to be addressed I hope.
