A company makes something that is defective and could end up bursting into fire and potentially burn houses or people alive and you want too commend them?

And Ford once sold a car that would explode in a rear end collision.

The difference is that Nvidia are choosing to warn people and have issued a recall giving customers brand new replacements, this is what they are being commended on, their response to the problem.

By comparison Ford decided that the cost of a recall would be more than the cost of lawsuits from victims families, this lead to them being condemned when the internal memo got leaked.

See the difference?

Cmon you big tease do tell? Is there going to be a 64bit Android version coming soon like in the Nexus or are Nvidia going to exit the market after only one year? There is an Acer tablet coming too but Shield is the only one that floats my boat.

I could end up waiting until 2016 and the launch of 4K tablets tbh.:rolleyes:

So they didn't test them? No QC? ;)

Number of fords which exploded: Unsure, but reading that 180 people were killed.
Number of Shield tablets that burned and killed people: Unsure, guessing none yet?

Difference is... I doubt the Shield has killed anyone yet by exploding! ;)

NVIDIA are ultimately covering themselves for any legal proceedings from faulty batteries, if one were to burn now and take down a flight they would not be 100% to blame as they have issued the recall.

Not everyone will be aware of the recall though, how does it work then?

As far as I'm aware the fact they have issued one covers them as they are aware 'beyond reasonable doubt' of the fault, if a claimant is not prior to the time of any 'incident'.
