Good for you that you can be made glad so easily. I'd be glad if, for once, we as paying consumers wouldn't be screwed over with bad quality junk for a sh*t load of money. You know, there were times when you could buy good quality products, when you could be faily sure about the general quality of certain products. This day, you can never be sure of anything anymore. Even the big guns drop loads of crap on you so often it's not even surprising after a while anymore. They give you f*cked up rootkits with non-standard-conforming but such labeled disks, they give you junk batteries to break your valuable data and your belongings, and they get away with it. And hey, they can, since we don't even complain anymore, when they issue a recall of their junk we say ok, how nice, they are thinking of us. I say frack that, you screw me once, I'm not giving you my money anymore.
Allright, I'm done, you can score me down but I had to let it all out.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm glad Sony is finally taking responsibility here. It's been a long time coming.
Now, hopefully my once not-recalled Japanese Dell battery is on the new list.
