So PCSIntel is reporting that Apple's effecting a
"silent" recall and replacement of first and second week MacBook Pro batteries (which start with the serial
numbers W8607 and W8608) due to such symptoms as failure, power cutoffs, mis-reporting of remaining power, and
unresponsiveness to status polling. You know, the usual for a 1.0 product. We didn't
hear either way from Apple PR (yet -- we'll let you know if we do), but a quick call to Apple support -- which
according to PCSIntel should have yielded a quick blanket-return of any part with a serial that started as stated above
-- yielded no recommendation for return. In fact the support rep we spoke with researched it and told us he had no
documentation or instructions to initiate any such blanket
