This is a news articles sort of thing so I think this belongs in Current Events.
Aaaanyway, risky business.  I think I'd trade in my crappy laptop that I broke last week (and am still using, haha) for the explosive one, though. :D

Ohh, when I heard about that I was so happy because I thought I could get a new one.
But then I realised I have like the only Dell laptop not on the recall list. Psht great. I think they need to recall mine's a/c adapter. I've literly gone through 11 A/C ADAPTERS. They always break. I'm so sick of my computer. I'm saving for MacBook though.

QUOTE 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.. |

I thought that was only for dell notebook batteries? I'm just waiting for my battery from dell so right now i'm running on AC power. I don't know, I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 but I havn't experience OVER over heating. I have experience the battery getting hot/warm though, but I thought that was normal.
