Apple Recalls Laptop Batteries

Apple has announced a battery recall similar to the one Dell made last week.  The issue is the same, that a battery could overheat and catch fire.  And, again, the technology that has failed the quality standards has come from Sony.  This is getting to easy to criticize them.  Anyone else out there using Sony batteries?  Should Vaio owners be concerned?  We'll have to see if and when that press report comes out. 

The statement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission is here.  Apple's recall page is here.  Stories are in CNET, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
