Sure, you might expect your laptop to overheat or explode at any moment — but cut you with a seemingly harmless logo? That’s the strange but true case of iBuyPower’s Battalion Touch CZ-10, at least, which left one Laptop Magazine reviewer with a nasty gash (that may or may not have required Band-Aid attention) after he decided to inspect a sliver of the “W” that appeared to be peeling off. For its part, iBuyPower says that it has since stopped using the aluminum logo in favor of a plate-style label with rounded edges, and that less than 1% of shipped systems used the troublesome logo. Anyone stuck with one of those is advised to contact iBuyPower for a replacement before it’s too late.

Safe for carpets and other types of flooring and shoe soles, all you have to do is is spray the shit on and you’ll instantly feel your footing and traction improve. Extremely flammable, I would recommend spraying these on your high heels before you go to work at Coyote Ugly.
