I saw that on Good Morning America (yay for late night TV) a few months ago. Pretty amazing stuff, they submerged a laptop while it was turned on with no ill effects.

Supposedly the heat transfer properties aren't nearly as good as actual water so it wouldn't help much.

Water isn't used to take heat away from the fire. It cuts off the fire's oxygen source. Same as the foam they use sometimes. That's. why.

I beg to differ. Not only is heat absorbtion one of the most important factors in fighting fire, but the ability of an agent to smother a fire is directly related to its specific heat also..
