The pictures are just too crazy to not pay attention to this story first seen in a vague report from The Inquirer. Apparently, during a conference in Japan, an attendee's Dell laptop computer essentially spontaneously combusted, resulting in multiple flame-producing explosions over the course of 5 minutes.
The conference was brought to a hault while employees at the conference worked to douse the flames. We don't have details about exactly what kind of Dell this was, nor what caused the explosion.
Update 06/27/06:
Dell looks into the matter and analyzes exploded notebook. More details on Reuters.
