The original book on this subject was not George Orwell's "1984" (1948) or Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" (1932), neither was it Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451"(1953). I can only recommend reading Yevgeni Zamyatin's "We" (1924), which was published decades before the other books.
The woman got the battery at the store she bought the Nokia, It was a respectible dutch brand store as well. The reseller already has taken all similar batteries off the shelves and is returning them so the supplier.
One article I've read about the matter states that the phone was originally sold with this battery and not a Nokia original one.
OT, but I think they actually decreased Barbie's breastsize and increased her waistline last year or so, to give her a somewhat more realistic figure.

With only 600 mp3s, it the user does not even have to be that net savvy as well.
Imagine having your door kicked in at 5am in the morning. 6 cops rushing into your house, your sister is standing there in her nightgown, and your comp gets confiscated.
Yourself? You don't even have a clue what it's all about...
A phantastic story? Not really, it happened to a friend of mine... and, it wasn't even in the US, the scene as I described it took place about a year ago in Germany...
200 subscribers from the same ISP got their comps confiscated on hunt for childpornography.
He got his box back eventually, but think about it, how much illegal software is on your HDDs.
The more or less accurate percentage on my comp lies around 95%...
...interesting to see that a posting on Brintey Spears' breast size get modded important instead of offtopic in a thread about US legislation...
If the average guy gets that easily distracted from somewhat more important issues (I admit me too:)) it is no wonder CNN/FOX/MSNBC chose their programming as they do...
