Stiftung Warentest warnt vor Nokia-Originalakkus
Betroffen sind Akkus für die Nokia-Handys 3210, 3310, 3330, 5510, 6650 und 6800.
"Nokia-Akkus sind gefährlich und können Feuer fangen." Das ist das Ergebnis einer Untersuchung der Stiftung Warentest und ihrer belgischen Partnerorganisation Test-Achats. Nach Presseberichten über explodierende Handy-Akkus von Fremdherstellern und entsprechenden Warnhinweisen des finnischen Handyherstellers hat die Stiftung Warentest verschiedene Originalakkus von Nokia überprüft und kommt dabei zu einem erschreckenden Ergebnis: Viele Modelle sind nicht gegen Kurzschluss und Überhitzung geschützt. Die Akkus können sich verformen, Feuer fangen oder sogar explodieren.

Simpsons Plant Seeds of Invention
Homer Simpson is not a guy people want to emulate. "D'oh!" is his most-used expression, and with good reason. His endeavors tend to go horribly, horribly wrong.
Nevertheless, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon, dreamed of bringing to life his favorite The Simpsons episode, one from 1999 in which Homer grows "tomacco," a combination tomato-tobacco plant. Even though it tastes foul and has a brown, gooey center, the entire town becomes addicted to the fruit after one bite, and Homer gets rich.
