Presumably in response to crap like this, Apple's recalling pretty much every battery they've ever made in the last 3 years. So now I have to wait to get the official email from them about what to do with mine and how to replace it. This is really annoying. Although it's probably even more annoying for the Apple store workers. Every Mac laptop out there has a ticking timb bomb in it. Ugh. I so don't need this before I leave for school.
UPDATE: This is apple's official announcement with bonus details like how to get a new battery if yours is too hott for you. (Mine's fine.) Here's the table of affected serial numbers. If your serial number doesn't match, you're fine.
(Take out the battery (hardwood floors! no carpet!) and the serial number will be the first 5 digits under the bar code. And not the one on the sticker.)
