Toshiba Recalls Over 100,000 Laptop Batteries Due to Fire Hazard

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 10:03 AM PDT

Recalled battery packs can overheat and catch fire

Toshiba Battery Recall

Toshiba America has issued a recall for certain Panasonic brand lithium-ion battery packs that were sold with laptops in the United States and Canada. The affected models can overheat, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.

While no injuries have been reported, Toshiba has received four reports of affected battery packs overheating and melting.

The recall affects batteries that were installed in 39 models of Toshiba Portege, Satellite, and Tecra laptops. It also includes systems that were sent in for repair to Toshiba.

Battery packs affected by the recall have part numbers printed on the back that start with G71C (G71C*******). These were sold at Office Depot and other electronic stores across the nation, and online at ToshibaDirect.com and other websites from June 2011 through January 2016. Pricing for laptops for affected laptops generally ranged from $500 to $1,000, and between $70 and $130 for just the battery pack.

"If it is part of the recall, consumers should power off the laptop, remove the battery and follow the instructions to obtain a free replacement battery pack. Until a replacement battery pack is received, consumers should use the laptop by plugging into AC power only," Toshiba says.

A list of affected battery packs can be found on Toshiba's website.

Google Apologizes for 'Mic Drop' Gmail April Fool's Gag

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 09:41 AM PDT

Prank gone wrong

Gmail Mic Drop

April Fool's Day is the bane of every writer that covers technology. That's because it's not always easy separating the real stuff from fake news, though it was Google that ended up looking the fool when its Gmail prank backfired earlier today.

With humorous intentions, Google added a Mic Drop feature to Gmail. By hitting the "Send + Mic Drop" button, you'd get the last word in a long Gmail chain, complete with an animated GIF of a Minion from Despicable Me dropping a microphone.

"Everyone will get your message, but that's the last you'll ever hear about it. Yes, even if folks try to respond, you won't see it," Google explained in a blog post.

Google didn't mean any harm by it, but by placing the Mic Drop option close to the regular Send button, many Gmail users inadvertently pranked their contacts, including co-workers and bosses who may not have found the humor in it all.

"Well, it looks like we pranked ourselves this year. Due to a bug, the Mic Drop feature inadvertently caused more headaches than laughs. We're truly sorry. The feature has been turned off. If you are still seeing it, please reload your Gmail page," Google stated in an update to its blog post.

While most users who didn't find the humor in Gmail's prank were simply annoyed, one Gmail user claims to have been fired from his place of employment due to the Mic Drop feature.

"Thanks to Mic Drop I just lost my job. I am a writer and had a deadline to meet. I sent my articles to my boss and never heard back from her. I inadvertently sent the email using the "Mic Drop" send button.There were corrections that needed to be made on my articles and I never received her replies. My boss took offense to the Mic Drop animation and assumed that I didn't reply to her because I thought her input was petty (hence the Mic Drop). I just woke up to a very angry voicemail from her which is how I found out about this 'hilarious' prank," the user wrote on Gmail's help forum.

We're not sure if that really happened or not, and even if it did, it seems like the boss in question would have a change in heart after learning about Google's prank. Either way, this wasn't Google's finest moment.

Google has a long history of being playful on April Fool's Day spanning all the way back to 2000, though this is the first one we can remember that prompted an apology.

G.Skill Unveils Fast and Capacious 32GB Ripjaws DDR4-3000 RAM for Laptops

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 08:49 AM PDT

Little modules with big capacity

GSkill Ripjaws DDR4-3000

G.Skill's one of the more active participants in the DRAM space, especially when it comes to high-end desktop kits for enthusiasts and overclockers. Be that as it may, its latest offering is aimed at laptop users and small form factor (SFF) builds that use SO-DIMMs.

Those users now have access to high-speed, high-capacity options in the form of G.Skill's Ripjaws DDR4-3000 memory kits, now available in configurations of up to 32GB (16GBx2).

"Foreseeing the growing demand of high-end gaming laptops and small form-factor PCs, G.SKILL continues the development of higher speed DDR4 SO-DIMM memory. Today, G.SKILL is excited to raise the maximum support of DDR4 SO-DIMM frequency to 3000MHz CL16. Most importantly, this frequency speed is achieved at a low voltage of 1.2V, while DDR4-3000MHz kits typically require a higher 1.35V," G.Skill says.

The lower voltage should result in a smaller thermal footprint, or so that's part of G.Skill's sales pitch, though it's probably not significant enough to make all that much of a difference. Nevertheless, at 1.2V, it's lower than many competing competing kits. And while not advertised, it could also be indicative of overclocking headroom with a small voltage bump, provided that's something you're interested in doing on your notebook or NUC-sized device.

In addition to 32GB kits, G.Skill is also offering its Ripjaws DDR4-3000 SO-DIMM memory in 16GB single modules, 16GB kits (8GBx2), and 8GB single modules, all rated to run at 16-18-18-43.

No word yet on price or availability.
