I don't know - why, did they make the batteries that got recalled in those laptops?

The iPod uses a lithium ion battery -- the same type of battery under recall for setting laptops on fire.

Ohh, scary!

Similarly, Steve Jobs is a human male...the same species and gender as Vlad the Impaler, Jack the ripper, and Joseph Stalin.

Yes. The batteries in the burning Mac, Dell, and Lenovo that made news had Sony batteries. I believe Sony has that market sewed up.

As for his mommy, don't you realize it's Apple's fault she raised a moron. I think it would be fitting if the city of Atlanta had him fired from his airport vendor job, and then Homeland Security arrest him for endangering the lives of air travelers. I bet mommy would drop her complaints in a heartbeat.

In this particular case, "We Didn't Start the Fire" would be an outright lie. :|

Yeah, because the first thing I think when I see a guy with smoke pouring from his pants is "OMG PANTS BOMBER".

*sigh* Ron White said it best... "You can't fix stupid."
