Exploding laptop adds to Yahoo's woes
The stock price wasn't the only thing going up in flames at Yahoo yesterday: A Dell laptop - yes, the fire-prone variety - exploded at Yahoo headquarters, forcing the evacuation of an eight-story building, according to Engadget. Valleywag relates that the offending laptop did indeed have a Sony battery, the type that Dell and Sony have recalled. While the problem's not likely to be widespread at Yahoo - the Web giant buys HP and Apple laptops for its workers, not Dells, so the machine's widely believed to be someone's personal laptop - it's a good reminder to make use of Dell's battery-exchange program.
