Another burning laptop

Matt from Melbourne woke up to his housemate screaming. His Macbook was on fire. Luckily he was able to put it out.

Luckily for him, and us, he took photos and posted them on a discussion forum.

It's sad that we have so little trust of big IT companies that it's necessary to post first and then ring the company. But that lack of trust has been well earned.

It's going to be interesting to see how Apple deal with this. According to Matt, his laptop wasn't on the Mac recall list and is still under warranty. It looks like we might have another battery recall approaching.
