Dell netbook catches fire, burns hole in floor.
A woman's Dell Mini 9 suddenly made a "popping noise" -- never a good sign -- then began to "hiss and sizzle" and fill the room with smoke. She nudged it with her foot, and discovered that it burned her floor. (Probably a good thing she didn't have carpet.) Dell replaced it, and says they're investigating.
Comments:
Amusing. My own Dell Mini 9 has had serial battery malfunctions, including scalding overheats that have burnt the screen, and that (I imagine) could easily escalate into the situation above.
Dell, of course, won't give a refund. Lesson learned.
Duuuuuude.
The Mystery Pic o' the Week is a poster from a 1958 film. It was a parody of other types of size-changing films of the era.
