it not bother anybody that you have a better chance of being hit
by lightning than having your battery blow-up, catch on fire,
smoke, or otherwise? You're more than six times more likely to
get struck by lightning than have you battery blow up, and when
was the last time your heard a complaint about the number of
lightning strikes?  Thats 1:700,000 vs 1:4,300,000.  Give me a

What I don't hear about in these melting laptop articles is how
well taken care of the computers were when they melted (exhaust
clogged, dusty inside, ambient temp, etc...)  P.S. I'm not a
Sony fanboy, just tired of media hype.  RE: What is the big
