Dell Recalls Batteries
It appears that these stories I keep hearing about batteries randomly catching on fire on Dell laptops is not completely bull like I thought. This article states that Dell has issued a recall on all laptop batteries sold from October 2004 - October 2005.
The batteries, which were bundled with Dell notebooks and also sold as add-ons via the company’s Web site and catalogs, can overheat and thus pose a fire risk, Dell said in a statement.
I fear my laptop may fall into this category and I may have to go ahead and send in my battery before it blows up on me!

I just had to swap out my MacBook Pro battery too. *shrug* At least there IS a recall. With Apple it was totally painless. Went into the website, put in serial number, they ship the battery, I get it two days later, return old battery in same box. Presto!

What if dildos did the same thing and when women are using them they spontaneously catch on fire. That would be a site to see.

Well the problem is specifically with Lithium Ion batteries. So unless dildos these days are using Lithium Ion batteries it wouldn’t really be possible.
