Eg, A laptop at a Japanese conference burst into flames.
Well, it turns out that the batteries were faulty, and now Dell is recalling four million batteries. Um, if you have a Dell, go here to see if your battery may explode, and what to do.
Um, also, take the BBC story with a grain of salt, because this place says 27K batteries, not 4 million. But that site looks dodgy, and the consensus seems to be 4 million.
