    An attendee at a conference in Japan was sat just feet away from a laptop computer that suddenly exploded into flames, in what could have been a deadly accident.

    Guilhem, our astonished reader reports: "The damn thing was on fire and produced several explosions for more than five minutes".

    Should you witness such an event, his advice is, "Don't try anything courageous/stupid, stay away, away, away!"
