Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
In its second battery recall in only six months, Hewlett-Packard has issued a worldwide recall for 15,700 laptop Chinese made batteries which can pose potential fire hazard because of overheating.
In October 2005, HP issued a similar recall for over 130,000 batteries
used in similar model laptops. The recall issued on April 20 includes
HP Pavilion (dv1xxx,ze2xxx), Compaq Presario (V2xxx, M2xxx) and HP
Compaq (nx48xx) models.
Last year's recall also involved the HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario families of laptops but many more models were affected.
According to HP, the problems are limited to just the batteries and
users can still use their notebooks on AC power until their replacement
batteries arrive. However, the second recall in such a short space of
time must throw open to question HP's quality control and supply chain
procedures.
HP. a company originally known for its high quality engineering, now
sells a range of personal computers, partially inherited from its
acquisition of Compaq, most of which are manufactured at low cost
locations around the world using low cost parts.
