Laptopägare lever bara farligare och farligare - den här gången drabbades Linuxlegenden Alan Cox av explosiv dramatik då hans IBM ThinkPad exploderade. Den här gången verkar det faktiskt vara mer av en explosion än bara en fräsande brand också - vad gällande Alan så klarade han sig fint förutom småsår från flygande laptopbitar och lite bortbränt hår.

“Alan was on the other side of the room from the laptop. I was elsewhere. He yelled out, I ambled towards the room in my own good time, and then I heard Fire! Real fire! Call the fire brigade, now! and I speeded up a bit.

From Alan subsequently, I gather there was an explosion and flying pieces of laptop, and a fireball, and a couple of fires started where (presumably) boiling battery landed, and one fragment smashed an LCD monitor. And then there was smoke and smell (there is still smell) and smoke alarm wailing and firemen and sirens and paramedics (happily unneeded) and police and a man with a notebook asking questions for the fire report.”
