SKIRMISHER

Dell and Sony are not the only ones that can proudly own up to the unadvertised blazing feature of their products. Apple’s Macbook, although slightly a late-comer in this fiery party, also recently demonstrated its built-in feature to produce awesome sparks to surprise you when you’re most depressed.

Matty from Melbourne Australia surfed the net using Safari for 30 minutes yesterday night on his Macbook, after which he close the lid put it on sleep mode and left it on the bookshelf for charging. However at 3 a.m. all hell broke loose as his girlfriend heard the Macbook hissing like a steam valve, then smoke started pouring out of it and a couple of seconds later, a very large flash fire started. On hearing her loud screams and the dog barking Matty raced to the scene.

As I was running I saw a fire. At first I thought that the lamp had fallen and set fire to the curtain. As I got closer I realised it was my mac book …. burning! I picked it up and blew on it and swung it around to put the flames out. The book shelf it was sitting on was burnt and there were a couple of magazines that were on fire too. I quickly put those out and calmed down.

You gotta appreciate Macbook owner Matty’s quick reflexes and excellent firefighting skills that allowed him to instantly draw out from deep in his heart the memory of all those kung fu movies he’s watched. Because if something like that happened in my own house, the first and only thing I might have done was throw our urine-soaked puppy at the fire.

Stumble it!
