SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) will recall 1.8 million lithium-ion notebook batteries after nine devices overheated, causing minor burns in two users, U.S. safety regulators said on Thursday.
Go Sony! Maybe you should give up on batteries and just finish the damn PS3. And yeah, it was Sony batteries that caused the big Dell recall a couple weeks ago.

But no matter what, Vision Gran Turismo will be > *.
Even if I have to keep the PS3 in my freezer to prevent it from catching on fire. =)
lols at sony… someone is going to lose their jobs
Can the company fire itself? Cause thats what its gonna take…
I can definitely say that my MacBook has burned my leg through my jeans before because the battery got so hot. I moved it and looked at my leg and I had a huge red blotchy area about the size of my outstretched hand. It stayed very red and blotchy for almost a week. Now I never let it actually sit on my lap… I put a blanket (or two) or a book between it and I.
Well they did sue themselves once. :lol:
New laptops run way too hot, it’s amazing how many complaints you hear about that with laptops in general nowadays.

And I still say Sony is MS Japan.
We need to go get a beer sometime 
I pray that its Ken Kutaragi. He’s been a cancerous growth in Sony since the original Playstation.
There is a huge marketing push to call them notebooks and not laptops since they run hot now more than ever,
I bought a Targus Chill Mat for my laptop and it makes a world of difference.
The new notebooks have a ton of technology in a small package. Faster running, hard drive spinning faster, etc.
Think of it as a fat girl in spandex. She’s going to get hot fast.
I do find it funny that Dell and Apple have had recalls for Sony batteries, but Sony hasn’t had a recall for their Sony batteries. Maybe Dell makes their batteries
Macbook or macbook pro? My macbook has been running at a cool 52 degrees celsius since updating it.
This is all interesting to me, as I got my wife a 12" Powerbook G4, and according to this:
https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/
Computer model / Battery model number / Serial number range
12-inch PowerBook G4 / A1079 / ZZ411 - ZZ427, 3K429 - 3K611
I might have to worry… my wife’s battery serial number is 3K612.
