Another laptop bursts into flames

[PhotonWrangler]

Likely another defective battery, maybe one that wasn't returned in the recall. Link to dramatic photo here...

I got this news just a few minutes ago from Engadget...

Why Dell again? Even before the recall I hardly heard about bursting notebook except Dell and after it Dell still bursts. Are there something wrong with Dell itself rather than SONY's cell?

The battery was probably not returned for the recall.

I don't think Dell has anything to do with it, it's Sony's batteries.

Rumor says that battery is a new one... have been changed.

Horrible...

Isn't that fire generating some very toxic smoke? I hope they put it out quickly and then got the heck out of that office!
