ON AIRPLANES
There have been dozens of aircraft ires caused
by lithium batteries, so many that the batteries
are no longer welcome as cargo on passenger
lights. In one of the most recent incidents, a Fiji
Airways Boeing 737 was preparing for takeof
from Melbourne, Australia, when smoke was
discovered coming from the cargo bay. The
plane was evacuated and the cargo unloaded.
The source of the ire turned out to be lithiumion batteries in a passengers checked bags.
Hoverboards and e-cigarettes are banned from
lights for the same reason.

TESLA
In August, a Tesla electric car caught ire during
a promotional tour in southwest France. Tesla
said in a statement that it is working with the
authorities to establish the facts about the ire.
The driver was quoted in local newspaper Sud
Ouest as saying he answered a Facebook ad
ofering test drives of the Model S sedan. The
driver said he saw smoke, and the three people
aboard got out before seeing it catch ire.
Tesla hasnt oicially found fault with the
battery. But in 2013 , it faced questions when
several Model S sedans caught ire after road
debris damaged their batteries. Tesla wound up
strengthening the battery shield on new and
existing cars.

HOVERBOARDS
Hoverboards, or self-balancing scooters, have
been linked with at least 99 electrical ires
in the U.S., according to the the Consumer
Product Safety Commission. Hoverboards
might be more susceptible than other products
to battery ires because they come under
more duress than other electronic devices like
computers. Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers
dumped the products after videos of burning
hoverboards went viral. But they reopened sales
this year after passing new ire-safety tests.
COMPUTER BATTERIES
In June HP recalled nearly 50,000 HP, Compaq,
HP ProBook, HP ENVY, Compaq Presario, and
HP Pavilion computers after seven reports of
battery packs overheating, melting or charring,
including four reports of property damage
totaling about $4,000.

APPLE CONTINUES TO
ENCHANT CUSTOMERS
There may have been just a few more question
marks than usual surrounding Apples sales and
revenue fortunes ahead of this years September
keynote, but its fair to say that with its latest
big hardware unveilings, the Cupertino irm
has given some pretty emphatic answers to
its critics. While it remains to be seen exactly
how the market will respond to two of Apples
most important products for the 12 months to
come, history suggests that much more than
a few sales hiccups will be required to halt
the Californian giants continued incredible
momentum in the face of tough rivals.

FIVE FACTS:
1. All of the locations in the movie are
computer-generated VFX. The story may have
been set primarily in India, but the movie was
completely shot at the LA Center Studio in
Los Angeles, California.
2. The CG character Baloo is so large and
furry, he took almost ive hours of rendering
time per frame.
3. The talking animals in this movie were
created using animal behavior, then having
the actors copy those movements in motioncapture VFX.
4. This is the irst time that Kaa the snake is
portrayed as female, rather than male. Jon
Favreau said the change was a deliberate
one, as he felt there were too many male
characters in The Jungle Book (1967).
5. Mowgli has a scar on the right side of his
chest that appears to be the letter r, as well
as a scar on his left shoulder that is a k. This is
a nod to the original author Rudyard Kipling,
where the R and K are the authors initials.
