Dell detonation II: maximum laptop carnage

dell_detonates_again

Okay, Dell stockholders, time to get nervous again: Another Dell laptop has gone kablooie, this one in Vernon Hills, Illinois. An automation engineer named Henrik had his digital camera at the ready when his colleague's notebook exploded, and he snapped some pics of the mayhem. From the look of the charred remains of the victim, you have to think the battery is at least a "component of interest" to CSI: Dell. Since the ol' notebook detonation is starting to become a pretty regular incident for the company, we hope a recall/explanation is coming soon, lest people flee from their Dell products in droves and we never see awesome PCs like this one.
