- Hasty (Irresponsible?) Media Reporting
-
I have been involved in multiple "product-caused" fire investigations, during my 26 years designing portable PCs and LaserJets. Invariably, the media: 1) does not accurately report the event, 2) exagerates that chances of similar events occurring on other products, and 3) uses purposfully alarming rhetoric. In this case, given the now-well-know-portable-battery-failures, it is only natural the media blames the battery!
I have no doubt the battery had nothing to do with this event. Try plugging all a laptop's heat vents and see how long it takes to starts smoking... - Posted by: hnoyes Posted on: 02/25/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
