Sony Does It Again: More Notebook Batteries Recalled

It's been about two years since millions of Sony notebook batteries across many different OEM lines were recalled, due to overheating --- and fire problems. Hopefully you haven't forgotten about that, because here we are again.

The original recall in the US was for 35K, but there are 65K in other regions, for a total of 100K.
