27.09.2007Gateway recalls notebook batteries
Gateway is
recalling 14,000 lithium-ion notebook
batteries, the company said
Tuesday.
The
announcement comes after four
reports of Gateway notebooks
overheating over the last few
years. One of the incidents
caused "minor property
damage," according to
Gateway. The batteries in
question are used in two
models of its notebooks, the
400VTX and 450ROG, sold in the
U.S. between May and August
2003.
"The root
cause of this battery failure
became apparent as the
batteries aged and performed
repetitive recharging cycles.
After an in-depth analysis of
the four reported incidents,
Gateway took proactive
measures to launch a voluntary
battery exchange program in
the interest of customer
safety," said company
spokeswoman Lisa Emard. ..

15.06.2007AMD Kills Quad FX Platform
AMD diverts resources from the Quad FX platform development the same year it promises Quad FX is the enthusiast future.
AMD
excited many technology enthusiasts last year when it introduced the Quad FX platform. AMD representatives touted this platform as the next big thing
from AMD.
AMD apparently talked up its Quad FX enthusiast platform so well that
Intel decided to roll out a
competing product in its unreleased Skulltrail platform. When the
Quad FX platform first hit market in January of 2007 it seemed doomed from the start to many with steep price premiums for the
mainboards and the processors. These price premiums led to the lethargic adoption of the platform.
