Crap Chinese batteries FTL. Batteries do generate considerable heat during rapid discharge. Nokia had cell batteries doing the same thing awhile back.

There are reports from thoroughly unreliable sources that Dell has come up with their response to the problem of exploding laptops. They are going to issue lightweight kevlar vests and head-drapes that users must wear when using any of the affected laptops. This was in lieu of an earlier idea, that of issuing certificates good for one burial. The latter was discarded when it occurred that an unusual quantity of seniors might be buying the laptops just so they could get the certificates.

Another thoroughly unreliable source indicates that various religious forces in Abu-Ding-Ding are issuing Dell laptops to their blow-up-the-local-market teams, thinking they might escape detection by unknowing security forces. It also costs less than blowing up an entire car.
