Sony has done what I've been expecting it to do for a few weeks now - it has issued a global recall of all lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries  used in notebooks. 

Withe the Dell, Toshiba, Apple and Lenovo recall Sony was looking at replacing around 7 million batteries.  This recall is bound to dramatically increase that number.  This means that if you have a notebook that contains a Sony battery (and that's not something that's easy to spot) then you need to be on the lookout for a recall.  I'll post all the information that I find - if you find anything, feel free to drop me a note.

This is going to mean laptop troubles for a lot of people.  Bad news all round.
