The famous Digg This plugin for wordpress just got updated (thanks for thetshirtblog from the forum for notifying me of the problem).

As it turns out that Digg changed the HTML code consist of a post. Since the plugin validate that the referral you got is actually from digg and not from a spam bot, it did not parse correctly the changed HTML coming from digg, resulting no link back to digg. If you have an old version of the plugin, please update your wordpress with the new version

PC makers recall 100,000 Sony laptop batteries

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo

Computer makers are recalling 100,000 laptop battery packs made by Sony Corp. after 40 reports of overheating, according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice Thursday.

The voluntary recall applies to certain Sony 2.15Ah lithium-ion cell batteries made in Japan and sold around the world in laptops made by Hewlett-Packard Co., Dell Inc. and Toshiba Corp.

Some incidents involved smoke or flames, according to Sony. Twenty-one of the reports claimed minor property damage, and small burns were reported in four cases.

Sony blamed two factors for the defects: adjustments on its manufacturing line from October 2004 to June 2005, which may have affected the quality of cells in certain production lots; and a possible flaw in the metal foil for electrodes.

The company said no reports have been filed for batteries made after 2006, and noted that the recalled units are a small fraction of the more than 260 million it has shipped over six years
