PowerBook G4 battery explodes
Published August 6th, 2006 in Technology
It’s not just Dell laptops which have an exploding battery problem. Now we have PowerBooks doing it too. The battery recall was issued quite a while ago for iBook G4s and PowerBook G4s, but it appears that people who didn’t heed the warning are now paying the price. Also, there’s a MacBook Pro battery exchange program as well, so if you have one of those it might be a good idea to check that out. A word of advice: If you own a laptop, start checking the manufacturer’s recall program pages frequently. Who knows which company will be next?

Dude it looks like some anime mech warrior got pissed at that mac book and shot one of his huge ass frecken laser beams at it. It probably stole his sticky rice… You don’t fuck with a samurai mech and his sticky rice… then you become this laptop. Hear my words.
