If I was on the jury he wouldn’t get shit.

A. Don’t leave your laptop on a pile of papers.  
B. And this is the real big one, when you wake up and smell something burning, but can’t find it, you don’t just go back to bed.

i would imagine homeowners will cover everything, but if he doesnt have homeowners insurance, then he is really winning a darwin award.

A- He was already aware of the recall, so therefore he was fully aware of the possible consequences

B- Who leaves a laptop on a pile of papers on a couch? Why not just throw some gas on the coffee table and toss a lit cigarette on it…

What a fuckstick.

It’s probably the same guy who sued dell a while back because his laptop burned his wang. He said there should be a warning sticker on the laptop that leaving it on your crotch while using it for extended periods of time can cause burns. There is a warning, it’s when you feel a hot laptop starting to roast your nuts, and you move it.
