Japan Airlines says smoke seen coming from Boeing 787 battery
Japan Airlines said it temporarily grounded one of its 787 Dreamliners on Tuesday after white smoke was spotted outside the plane, warning lights in the cockpit indicated possible faults with the main battery and charger, and one battery cell appeared to be leaking.

Move along, nothing to see, white smoke simply means there is a new Pope.
Ummmmmm.....can they (BOEING) just not try other batteries instead
Yes!
Boeing should certify old heavy batteries secretly (as insurance, just in case they have another serious incident, so the fleet isn't grounded again).
More importantly, they should spend some good engineering resources to determine the underlying issues that cause the deformation, and build a battery that us durable (won't easily deform) and us extremely reliable (that an fault can be found consistently, long before they cause any serious problems).
The airlines prefer lithium for the wright saving. But the design should be improved no only to try to prevent a runaway fire, bit also I avoid deforming in the first place (or rather so that the deformation won't compromise the integrity of the compartments). Also the design should provide ability to sense a fault before the chemicals can mix explosively. Maybe 2 barriers between every compartment. When one barrier is compromised, the battery sensor can indicate a fault before the second barrier is comprised (so before explosive mixing).
So yes, an old battery can be designed and maybe even be made available. Seems the plane's performance beats the promises performance byba wie margin. So Boeing should be able to offer an older heavy battery design wihoit falling shirt of promised performance.
But more importantly, they should also work on new designs (while faulting batteries of the current design are swapped out when necessary).
But whatever long-term solution or solutions are provided should be durable an reliable (an hopefully as economically advanced as the rest of the plane). Buy the emphasis should be on reliability first, durability next, and economically advanced last.

I think you need a new keyboard.
LOL!
I usually access Squawks from my phone when I'm on the go.
So I use a touch keyboard.
But it's connected to an over-zealous auto-corrector. Which fixes some typos, introduces others, but still misses others.
The phone autolearns words. So it learns misspelled words and changes perfectly written words to the autolearned junk words. Can you believe that?!

Your software is made by the manufacturer of the battery!
I'd get me a new phone. LOL. That is why I have stayed with a laptop rather than go Smartphone. It's a little more bulky but I have decided I don't need to be wired 24-7 and I actually enjoy conversing with folks and not be interrupted by text or msg. That's just me.

It keeps learning, so eventually can unlearn some of the mistaken junk words learned in the past.
Though I wish the logic allowed my greater control in removing junk words from its' dictionary/ vocabulary and allowed my to edit correction links (ie. when I type 'this' correct it to 'that').
So not only would the phone learn with each word written by the user, but the learning could be directed by the user.

They're saying that in a few years all phones will be smartphones. They won't sell any others.

Remember, 'smart' is a label, not necessarily a description. Got a Galaxy Note 3 'phablet' for xmas, must use same autocorrupt. Have a bluetooth keyboard for the ipad, wonder if that works... LOL
