I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for Dell...

So appearently Dell's burn.  Dell's burn good.  A little while back one caught fire at a conference in Japan.  Bad times.

Last month some poor midwestern office worker ran back to his office to find his coworkers dousing his Latitude with flame retardant goodness from their underused fire extinguishers.

I returned from lunch to find my old Latitude (D600) running quite warm.  The battery was too hot to handle.  I called Dell, bitching, got them to replace it.  That day they announced a recall of 4.1e6 laptop batteries - made by our friends at Sony.  Good times for Sony.  Maybe they can use the recalled parts in 2nd Gen PSP's or PS3's as 'spark simulators'.
