"SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Computer Inc. on Thursday recalled 1.8 million Sony-built laptop batteries that could overheat and catch fire. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple has received nine reports of batteries overheating, including two consumers who received minor burns after handling overheated computers. Apple has also received reports of minor property damage, but no serious injuries have been reported. Apple's recall comes two weeks after Dell Inc.'s recall of 4.1 million faulty laptop batteries also made by Sony — the largest electronics recall in the Consumer Product Safety Commission's history."

Haha, I was just thinking the other day that my iBook battery was incredibly hot after reading that Dell story. I was about to buy a new one too. I win.

I'm surprised Sony's stock hasn't dropped more from this news... I mean a manufacturing blunder that causes 6 million recalls from 2 vendors alone is a pretty big fuckup

Sony's secret attack on their rivals' stock is working
