Apple Recalls 1.1 Million Laptop Batteries

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-fruit dept.

elzurawka writes "Apple has issued a recall of over 1 million batteries in the U.S.. This comes after Dell recalled over 4 million batteries just last week. It appears to be again an issue with Sony produced batteries. From the article: 'Computer giant Apple is recalling upwards of 1.1m batteries used in its laptop computers in the US. The announcement affects laptop computers sold between October 2003 and August 2006 and impacts the company's latest range of machines ... The recall is said to be the second biggest in consumer electronic history and will come as a blow to Apple after its launch of new MacBook and MacBook Pro machines had been hailed as a huge success for the firm.'"

    Oh I don't know, I think things could get much worse for them.

    For instance, if the general public had any fucking clue as to what you are on about.
