Dell's Battery Woes....

If you haven't heard already - Dell has issued a recall notice for 4.1 Million laptop batteries - YES - 4.1 Million. As a story from NY Times says it.... it could cost Dell more than 300 million - considering the fact that Dell is a Billion-dollar+ entity - this may be okay - afterall, the safety of the users is important.

Talking about safety - here is one instance from a conference in Japan that a Dell laptop burst out in flames.


Now - I can understand the high blood-pressures of the millions of users who use their laptops on their "laps" - come on folks - in the future - recall or no recall - Use the table -- Especially men --- as MSNBC warns y'all :) [No wonder I dont want to buy a laptop - I am a die-hard desktop fan and shall continue to be one! :) ]

Cheers - Nomad.
