Sony Recalls 18,000 VAIO Laptops

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the a-little-jolt-is-good-for-you dept.

STFS writes "Reuters has a story about Sony having to recall 18 thousand VAIO laptops because apparently there is some risk of users receiving a small electric shock "if you have connected your PC (laptop) to external power, you have disabled your phone line, (while) simultaneously being connected to a grounded peripheral, and you are touching a metal part of the PC, and your phone rings"!" I can't begin to count the number of times that happens ;)

    Why would you have your mom call you, when she could just walk down the stairs? Everyone knows that all slashdot readers still live at home, after all!

    Government is the monopoly on the legal (socially accepted) use of coersive force. Think about this next time you vote.
