Sony screwed

Not only batteries they supplied to big notebooks manufacturers, but even those they used into their own machines. It sounds incredible, but Sony itself have to replace 300K batteries in Vaio notebooks. Ya, in this extremly small and light notebook can bad battery do much more damage, than in other machines. I lost contact with this whole affair: Did number of bad batteries made by Sony reached 8 milions already? Incredible number, and company will lost much more than only price of those batteries. (most of ingredients can be recykled i think..) Much worse is loosing of their good name. Lets say it openly: Who will buy anything with Sony battery in say next 5 years?
