huge losses caused by bad capacitors made 1999-2003

Cheap aluminum electrolytic capacitors, made by manufacturers in 1999-2003 who stole a formula but didn't get the whole thing, caused hundreds of millions of dollars of losses in consumer electronics that failed. Video explanation is on this page:

Well with the amount of capacitors in consumer electronics (especially for power supply filtering) I guess there is little wonder that this could cause so much damage! This topic seems to fit along the same lines as commodore and MOS technology!
