I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this? http://www.batterylaptoppower.com]]>May 15th 2008 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/

i think that laptops these days have horrible cooling systems which is probably why they're all catching fire.
and who knows, maybe my decent toshiba satellite is next.
(i think it's best that laptop owners start keeping fire extinguishers nearby)]]>Sep 16th 2006 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/

Like, I got it for years that my computer was slow because there was so much shit on the hard drive.

1.) No there wasn't, (80 GB + 14 Used)
2.) It was slow, period.

Just sad.]]>Sep 16th 2006 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/All in all, it could have been much worse. The fire could have started while the airplane was taking off, when no one can safely get up to reach a fire extinguisher, or the computer could have been stashed under a seat and it could have set fire to the seat in the middle of the ocean on an airplane with no spare seats. This is not an air travel only problem, of course. I think we all need to worry about the laptop we leave at home, in our office or in the trunk of our car as well, when there is no one there to put the fire out. ]]>Sep 16th 2006 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/

Anybody here know exacly how much power a half-ounce of plastic explosives have? Let's just put it this way...I can take down a plane with a lipstick container...

But then again, I can take down a parking garage or a building above a parking garage with a couple strategically placed cars...should we start banning some more stuff?]]>Sep 16th 2006 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/Sep 16th 2006 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/thinkpad-explodes-at-lax-ignites-bomb-scare/The Lockerbie incident (December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103) showed that hiding "plastics" in electronics (radio - in checked baggage) is an easy and functional way to take down a very large bomb-of-an airplane. 9/11 as nasty as it was proved that these guys are not stupid - add religious ferver to that and anything goes.
Security at the airport is a joke. I can walk in and see holes in the illusion of security instantly - some countries (Philippines, of note) are far worse. Security is always a compromise of convenience. We could have a very secure airport system fairly easily but none of us would care to go through the inconvenience of true security.

Personally, I don't see any difference between abortion clinics or planes being bombed.
