And you thought you were safe out of the water...

So I lifted this from my favorite gadget blog, Gizmodo.com...

 

 

It seems you've got a greater chance of being attacked by your laptop than by a shark.  For all the "flaming batteries from hell" we've been hearing about, I've yet to hear WHY this is happening.  I know they've related it all back to Sony-sourced batteries (now in the millions), but what's the problem?  Short-Circuit? Overheating? Seems like everyone is recalling batteries, but what's the problem with them?  I think it must be some devastating "oops", otherwise we'd have been given an explanation by now.

Why do you care?  I'm writing this only inches away from my personal IBM-labeled 20-volt IED.
