I just checked my settings to see if I'd made a mistake, but I had not. Idle is blocked from the front page by my settings, and yet I currently see this 'story' and the 'Kind of Computer Mice' one displayed. The other one was in collapsed form, but this one is fully expanded just like a story I might be interested in, in spite of the fact that it's in the idle section.
The kdawson block still seems to work - maybe I should just block samzenpus as well.

Its about apple. All new about apple is important to everyone on slashdot no matter what they have blocked. Slashdot knows better than you do what you want to see.

I could be wrong, but isn't there a danger of the battery exploding from that kind of heat?

Back when calculator watches were cool, I had one die on me over the summer. I replaced it, melted the dead one with a magnifying glass, then hid it and waited until I went back to school. Then I waited more, for the right weather.
One night I wandered into the neighboring dorm room, hair wet from the rain, acting fuzzy.
Of course they thought I might be drunk. But I slurringly denied it. "No, I think I got hit by lightning."
Hoots of derision. "No, really. I was walking back here, and then I... I woke up... and my watch was like this." I held up my wrist with the melted face...
I wish I could have milked it a bit more, but I had to stop them before they called an ambulance.

Keep in mind who you're dealing with here: guys who build heat rays in their backyards for fun.
To them, setting things on fire is fun. Making things explode is AWESOME.

The heat is what causes the explosion, as a side effect of the "electrical impetus". The electricity itself isn't really explosive. Heat it up sufficiently some other way, and you will have just as much of a fireball since all you need to do is kickstart the exothermic chain reaction in the lithium. There are plenty of fun videos around of this in action.
The day without iPhone

Oh, how I look forward to a single day without something about the iPhone. It is as if our trillion dollar economy depended solely upon this novelty. The poor desperation of all the lost souls in the world that don't own one and never will. Come on/.ers, let's try just one day without a meaningless story about something that most people don't own and most never will.
