?A burst of flames? shot out of the charging port of an Apple AAPL +1.54% iPad demo model at a Vodafone VOD +0.86% store in Australia?s capital city of Canberra on Wednesday, causing the suddenly smoke-filled retail outlet to be evacuated until local firefighters arrived on the scene, according to news.com.au.

One of the biggest continuing automotive news stories in the latter part of the Seventies dealt with tales of exploding Ford Pintos and the considerable awards civil-court juries were presenting to victims of accidents involving the cars.
