Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference

An anonymous reader writes "A laptop reported to be a Dell burst into flame and was caught on camera during a recent Japanese conference. Guess this laptop could be a poster child to prove that laptops really can cause sterility if they are on your lap."

- Mow your lawn

they make machines for that

- Make your lunch

really? how many kids make their *parents* lunch? I've never heard of this one. Anyway, I can easily make or pack my own lunch, or trade green paper for it.

- Give you a hug

not necessary

- Smile

overratted

- Hold your hand

germs

- Carry your bag

Although I like where you are going with the forced labor theme, unfortunately most children just aren't that capable. I don't really have that many bags that need holding (or dropping) either.

- Laugh

see Smile

- Get sick

I'm not so sure about this one...computers seem to be able to get sick just fine

- Cry

Which is fortunate as that would probably fry the electronics.

- Call you at work

Thank god.

- Run into you

You got me on this one. I'll just have to take your word for it. I never really felt the need to be "run into".

- No matter how many laptops you buy, you won't be able to share your life, your lessons, your beliefs, or your ideas with a laptop.

Boo hoo. For one, I probably can share all of those things with a laptop. But secondly, isn't it at least a little selfish and conceited to require the existence of somebody else *just* to "share" yourself with? Maybe my life, lessons and beliefs are just stupid. Is it right for me to force that stupidity on a child that doesn't really know any better? At the least its just a futile ego trip.
