I'm guessing that Marmot was probably out (Starbucks in hand) protesting Wal-Mart selling the iPhone the day that story was posted. I mean, we all know he hates Wal-Mart shoppers as he so eloquently wrote November 11, "This is especially validated when the trailer trash magnet of a store aka Wal-Mart starts trying to push them in sales with a gift card you can use to patch up that flat tire in your trailer or maybe get some new hair dye for your mullet. You know your device is a piece of crap when Wal-Mart has a "deal" on it." (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/walmart-offering-100-gift-card-with-any-blackberry-purchase-bu/)

For the record I know that plenty of portable batteries have had exploding issues in the past. Sony, in particular, was to blame for quite a few.]]>Nov 17th 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/Nov 17th 2009 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/Nov 17th 2009 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/Nov 17th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/Nov 17th 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/
No, Apple is just the only one putting them in laptops and then charging an outrageous price premium for them. That being the case why shouldn't they be using superior quality components to everyone else...If they're not why pay the ridiculous f'n Apple Tax? Blind loyalty??? ]]>Nov 17th 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/
ouch, you *denied* me a correction on engadget forum...now I am proud of your efforts today

@Wm

there are a few other components that factor into a laptop than the li-ion battery. does apple overcharge for what you get? sure, but this can be argued both ways by some people who will say that a notebook is more than just a tool and say that form is just as important as function and then you have the brute force guys who only look at specs when judging much like car buyers who just look at the power of the engine.]]>Nov 17th 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/Nov 17th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/south-korean-researchers-devise-a-safer-lithium-ion-battery/

S. Korea is a leading source of technical innovation, while N. Korea continues to build nuclear weapons, starve it's people and jail political and religious dissidents.
