Tell me the old, old story

HITACHI HAS has joined the long, long list of notebook makers
recalling batteries. The firm said today it will bring back 16,000
cells made by, guess who, Sony. Most of the affected units shipped
to Japan.
According to Reuters, "Hitachi is in talks with Sony about who will
foot the bill to replace the lithium-ion batteries". We can guess
the answer though.
All eyes now will be on HP to see whether it joins its industry
friends in The Year of the Recall. Because thats all HP needs
right now, isnt it?
