Lithium-ion batteries have been around for about a decade and are used in devices such as cell phones and digital music players. Clancy said tiny metallic particles sometimes short-circuit the battery cells, adding that configuration in an electronic device can contribute to problems.


OMGSH! Don't iPods and phones use lithium-ion batteries too? Uhh-oh.

Fire is fun though :) I'd like to run around hold a flaming iPod/laptop/cell phone screaming "HOLY CRAP MY iPod/LAPTOP/PHONE IS ON FIRE!!!" someday..
