That picture's a Macbook Pro!

See its the back of the computer and the battery is near by? Well the Macbook battery is near the front of the computer.

Plus it's aluminum.

But...but... they're better than PCs!!! Except for the 'sloding, of course.

I thought the Sony Explod-o-Battery fiasco was already over.

@ars_workerbee:
It's hard to tell from the thumbnail at the top, but, that is a picture of the bottom of the laptop.

@ars_workerbee: Maybe he closed it in an attempt to put out the fire? I did not RTFA so don't crucify me if I'm incorrect.

i'm really suspicious of this his story... that's not to say I don't think it actually happened, but he said he was browsing the web, but the scorch marks make it look like it was closed at the time of the flameout, and it makes me wonder what the real deal is.

that said, yes, it failed, and he deserves a new one, and i'm glad to see applecare treating it like they should.

apparantly every time SJobs says "BOOM", another macbook 'splodes. Good thing I don't have to repair these very often

My 5 year old eMac looked exactly like that right before it started smoking and smelling of burnt plastic....

I thought the fireworks were part of the glam and glitter of these things
