If they see it suddenly burst into flames, they could have easily put the fire out or gotten out of the house. A laptop exploding isn't going to engulf an entire house in flames(unless the guy lived in a box or something...which wouldn't explain jumping from a 2nd story window...maybe th lived in a small tree house?)

The whole thing seems entirely fishy and I think its just a guy trying to collect insurance $$ and to get a bunch of money of HP]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/
Oh, right, silly me, that would never happen because the guy is automatically telling the truth.

Automatically assuming the guy is telling the truth is no more reasonable than automatically doubting his story.

Didn't this guy ever check to see if his battery was under recall?]]>Jan 15th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/

If this happened on your lap, you would be in big trouble:

It also really doesn’t matter if the battery isn’t made by HP. It’s still their responsibility, since they made the laptop with that battery.]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/
a) the guy's story is legit
b) the use of the word "explode" is, in fact, what happened

The article is not reporting what happened, the article is reporting that someone filed suit against HP. There's a major difference between the two.

Just because I know what's going on, I think that's the only reason mine hasn't detonated. Should I let mine explode and then see if HP want to do anything about it? It's out of warranty now.

Battery lasts 4 minutes max, and I have two power cables that are literally melted due to the HEAT that comes from it.]]>Jan 16th 2008 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/hp-facing-lawsuit-over-exploding-presario-injured-daughter/Jan 15th 2008 8:32PM
