Sony: Sorry about all those batteries, can we still be friends?
Poor Sony, they just can't seem to win lately. At least they have apologized for those batteries that had a tendency to make laptops burst into flames, and that has to count for something right?Sony says the problems were caused by microscopic pieces of metal that somehow got into the batteries and caused a short circuit. Well, at least the batteries didn't ship with a virus or something.

"had a tendency to make laptops burst into flames"
I don't know if I would consider 1 in a million a tendency.
