12-inch PowerBook batteries can catch fire, too


It looks like Dell isn't the only company who can have a little fun with laptops that get just a little too hot. Apparently, the battery of a Norwegian design firm employee's 12-inch PowerBook worked just a little too hard and caught ablaze itself, resulting in the image you see here. Let's hope this is not much more than an example of what can happen if you don't participate in those battery recalls that Apple's issued in the past.
