Article Title: Lenovo recalls ThinkPad batteries

NEW YORK: Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group Ltd. said on Thursday it is recalling 205,000 ThinkPad computer battery packs made by Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. because they pose a fire hazard.

The recall comes after similar recalls of millions of Sony Corp.-made batteries in laptop computers from Dell Inc., Apple Inc. and Toshiba Corp.

Lenovo and IBM said in September they were recalling more than half a million notebook computer batteries made by Sony after a computer caught fire at the Los Angeles International Airport.

The lithium-ion extended-life batteries can overheat and cause a fire if they are struck forcefully, such as when they fall to the ground, Lenovo and Sanyo said.

There were four reports in the United States of batteries overheating and damaging the notebook and one case in Europe, said Lenovo spokesman Ray Gorman. One of the cases caused minor property damage and another case caused minor eye irritation from smoke and sparks, he said.

"If you have it in your hand and it goes one or two inches and hits the ground, that's not going to do it," Gorman said. "It has to be maybe desktop height."

Sanyo, the world's biggest maker of lithium-ion batteries in 2005 according to research firm J-Star Global, will financially support the recall, the Lenovo spokesman said.

The defect occurred in the joint design of the battery packs, not because of an internal battery cell problem, the two companies said.

"From our perspective, we've identified a problem, we've figured it out quickly and we're taking aggressive steps to fix it," said Gorman.

The recall includes about 100,000 battery packs in the United States, the country's Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

No lawsuits have been filed against Sanyo as a result of the defect, said Keith Matulich, a lawyer for Sanyo Energy (USA) Corp.

Lenovo sold the batteries with new ThinkPad notebook PCs or as optional or replacement batteries for the following ThinkPad models: R Series (R60 and R60e), T Series (T60 and T60p) and Z Series (Z60m, Z61e, Z61m, and Z61p).

The recalled 9-cell batteries have the part number FRU P/N 92P1131, which can be found on the battery label.

Air india - IA Merger approved by cabinet...

Good news from Govt. in the morning.

 

Cabinet clears Air India, Indian merger

2007-03-02 09:09:46 Source: Moneycontrol.com

   

Clearing the last hurdle, the cabinet passed the Air India and Indian merger reports CNBC-TV18.

 

The government will continue to be the sole owner of the merged entity. It will look for IPOs after approval of a committee consisting of the finance ministry.

 

The merger structure is yet to be set in place and consultations with stakeholders and employees will continue.

 

The decision on branding & headquarters will be decided in consultation with the ministry of  civil aviation. V.Thulasidas, Air India’s chairman says that for the merger itself, a new company will be formed.

 

The government has not announced what the name of the merged entity will be, but sources say it might be called Air Indian since the Indian brand does not have much equity.

India's great leveler: cell phones - SHASHI THAROOR, the U.N. undersecretary-general for communications

India's great leveler: cell phones

By Shashi Tharoor

One of my favorite photographs of India shows a sadhu right out of central casting -- naked body, long matted hair and beard, ash-smeared forehead -- chatting away on a mobile phone.

The contrast says so much about today's India, a country that manages to live in several centuries at the same time.

There are other photographs I have seen over the years that illustrate the same phenomenon -- laborers carrying TV sets on their heads, a bullock-cart transporting rocket parts, a car overtaking an elephant, and so on. But there's something particularly special about the sadhu and his cell phone.

It is in communications that the transformation of India in recent years has been most dramatic. Last month, for the first time, 7 million Indians subscribed to new mobile phones. That is a world record.

In September 2006, India overtook China for the first time in the number of new telephone subscribers per month. We are still way behind China in the total number of cell phone users (just over 140 million against their 450 million), but each month the gap is narrowing.

By 2010, the government tells us, we will have 500 million Indian telephone users. China will probably still be ahead, but on a per capita basis there will be little to choose between us.

To anyone who grew up in pre-liberalization India, that is astonishing. Bureaucratic centralization committed a long list of sins against the Indian people, but communications was high up on the list; the woeful state of India's telephones right up to the 1990s, with only 8 million connections and a further 20 million on waiting lists, would have been a joke if it wasn't a tragedy -- a man-made one at that.

We had possibly the worst telephone penetration rates in the world. The government's indifferent attitude to the need to improve India's communications infrastructure was epitomized by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's communications minister, C.M. Stephen.

In response to questions in parliament decrying the rampant telephone breakdowns in the country, he declared that telephones were a luxury, not a right, and that any Indian who was not satisfied with his telephone service could return his phone -- since there was an eight-year waiting list of people seeking this supposedly inadequate product.

Stephen's statement was altogether typical of an approach to governance in the economic arena that assumed the government knew what was good for the country, felt no obligation to prove it by actual performance and didn't, in any case, care what anyone else thought.

So the cell phone revolution is exciting not only as a sign of India's economic transformation, but as a symptom of something far more important: a change in the attitude of India's governing classes.

The government is marginal to this success story, because we don't need it to lay telephone lines across the country any more, and the private-sector telecommunication companies develop their own connectivity.

Perhaps the key contribution of the government has lain in getting out of the way -- in cutting license fees and streamlining tariffs, easing the overly complex regulations and restrictions that discouraged investors from coming into the Indian market, and allowing foreign firms to own up to 74 percent of their Indian subsidiary companies.

All this is to the good. But what is truly wonderful about the ``mobile miracle'' is that it has accomplished something India's old socialist policies talked about but did little to achieve: It has empowered the less fortunate.

The beneficiaries of the new mobile telephones are not just the affluent, but people who in the old days would not even have dreamed of joining those 20-year-long waiting lists.

It's a source of constant delight to me to find cell phones in the hands of the least likely of my fellow citizens: taxi drivers, shop owners, farmers, fisherfolk.

As long as our tax policies keep telecommunications costs low and it's cheap for people to call on their cell phones, the greatest growth in the use of mobile phones will be in this sector.

Communications, in the new India, is the great leveler. It's a pity that Stephen is no longer around to see how wrong he was.
