DALLAS - Dell Inc. said Monday it will recall 4.1 million notebook computer batteries because they can overheat and catch fire.
A Dell spokesman said the batteries were made by Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). and placed in notebooks that were shipped between April 1, 2004, and July 18 of this year.

I agree with everything except for the Tech Support part. I had called them up to ask a simple yes or no question. Instead of simply answering me they wanted to charge me a freaking $45 one-time service fee! I ended up getting my question answered for free by a kid behind the counter at CompUSA.
I work off of a HP Pavilion zx5078cl In less than a year I had the Hard Drive and Power Adapter die out on me. I've been told that you are not s'posed to leave laptops running 24/7 as the hard drives cannot handle it like regular desktop hard drives. That's probably why it's breaking down on me.

We also have a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD laptop here that recently pooped out... sold in 2000 for like $3000. When you try and turn it on it says something like "insert system disk"... which might mean the hard drive is corrupted, I think. This is bad because we have many tens of thousands of artifacts catalogued on there that were never backed up.
