When officers contacted the resident, they determined a man in his mid-20s was burning his laptop in the fireplace

Probably a Lenovo. I hate that Chinese crap.

I bet there was something on that computer that would have made him Have A Seat Over There™.

Officials said the man was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation, but they didn't go into further detail.

and apparently neither did the article

Burn down the googles?

TFA doesn't mention any of that. However I did get a laugh out of the whole thing.

Jackal_N		2012-01-09 01:00:54 PM

Haven't we all wanted to murder our computer at some time or another? If all he did was burn the laptop, I don't think killing it should be enough to get him an evaluation.

I see nothing about emails from an ex.

Maybe he was cold.

I can't go outside today. I only do that on days my internet doesn't work. Of course, I use Comcast, so that's at least 3 times a day.

TNel		2012-01-09 01:15:25 PM

I'm on the line of he was burning it because he had some pictures on it that will be used against him. On a side note what kind of shiatty overreaching neighbors call the cops and fire department for something you are burning in your fireplace in your own home.

You are far too easily impressed. You should go look at some LOLcats or something.

I used to take old computer equipment down to the shooting range.

Hard drives can stop (mostly) 9mm rounds.

JWideman		2012-01-09 01:23:20 PM

Maybe he was trying to burn ebooks.

As someone who is using currently using my company Lenovo, I am getting a kick...

You know you ELSE tried to burn e-books?

unclemongo		2012-01-09 01:42:28 PM

So I took a little poetic license with WHY he burned the laptop. I was dyin' for a Madagascar greenlight.

mjjt		2012-01-09 01:47:15 PM

+1 for creative headline writing (which is what gets greens)

Smelly Pirate Hooker		2012-01-09 02:00:35 PM

Can't have too many Madagascar references, I guess. That shiat never, ever gets old.

I don't know about DVDs, but CDs actually do burn nicely.

/we (literally) burned CDs during chemistry class in high school

Look, pal...this isn't what I meant by "getting all hot 'n bothered..."

I completely agree. Just got a Lenovo laptop at work and it weighs 7.5 lbs with the battery charger. I had heard a rumour that we'd be getting MacBook Airs, but it turns out only the sales people get them. Sob.

Kalashinator		2012-01-09 03:20:04 PM

Where the fark did subby come up with all that? best guess besides "make shiat up to get a greenlight" is he/she lives in/around said neighborhood and has more up-to-date info. Please elaborate,

CDs in the microwave was always fun.

A lot of them sound better after being microwaved.
