    Hot on the heals of the other notebook/laptop makers is Lenovo/IBM in recalling batteries, said batteries are made by Sony.

    There was another engine I read about a year ago that looked somewhat similar, as a small thruster for very small airplanes, military style. Basically really scaled down disposable preditors.

    Interesting article. Thanks.

    With Dell recalling 4.1 million sony batteries(not to mention the rest), this is certainly impactual for anyone that owns a current model notebook.

    Do you know if this is merely a fire related hazard or are there other implications involved Halo?....ie performance related?

    This will no doubt, weigh heavily in sony's profit forecasts....
    Whats my brokers number again?
