I mean seriously guys, we’re all really pleased that you’re admitting to your mistakes, but can’t you get the batteries right the first time? After Dell, Apple, and Panasonic’s leads, Lenovo and IBM have announced plans to recall approximately 526,000 ThinkPad batteries - Sony ones of course. Why are they doing this all of a sudden? Well, that’s because 1 computer caught fire at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday. I have to say Lenovo, I respect you. I mean, it took Dell what - 6 exploding batteries to do a recall? All I have left to say is Sony, are you just messin’ with us?
