Anatomy

When Dell recalled 1.4 million Sony batteries, Dell’s stocks took a plunge. Dell received further blow by the announcement of Apple’s MacPro, a gargantuan 64 bit processing machine that out performs Dell’s mega PC towers and as well as underprice it. But this is far from Apple’s ambitions of being the David of Goliath. Well, the table has turned, for Apple now recalls 1.5 million laptop batteries, manufactured by none other, Sony. And as we speak, investors are selling Apple stocks, instead of acquiring more. But how does this affect Sony? Almost 3 million of their defected batteries are being recalled because of faulty wiring that may cause laptops to catch on fire, and image that certainly fuels one’s imagination, and in reality would only be discovered in books or movies. That constitutes hundreds of millions of dollars lost. Not to mention investor distrust. I view this as only the beginning, an accumulation of sequential disasters that targets the slow annihilation of Sony. Could this be a global conspiracy?Check your laptop batteries, you Compaq, HP, Zyrex, IBM, and those Quasi Chinese laptop owners. Even I jeer anxiously for signs of electrical malfunction or simply smoke, from my Apple iBook, in which this Weblog is being typed on.
