Looks like I might need to buy a nomex suit to use my laptop on my lap:
Looks like a bomb went off.
wow.
Thats one lucky SOAB.
WOW! Read the story last week… but there was no indication it was Alan Cox! :eek: He is a lucky SOB!
seriously whats with all the laptop batteries all the sudden??
Sony released a whole bunch of defective ones. Surprising, none ended up on Sony laptops though :snky:
I’ve been playing with li-ion and li-poly batteries for a while now in RC planes and stuff, and these things are no joke. When they short internally they literally explode, and they burn REAL hot. So yeah, you have a little napam bomb sitting on your nuts if your laptop is in your lap.
Makes me wonder if I’m really all that safe when I use my old compaq laptop and it’s 12 year old Li-ion batteries. :o
docking station FTW
