Sony's Sinking Ship

Jeepers, are we seeing the slow death of Sony Corp.?

Sony breaks it's original Linux support promise and it's uber secure overpriced piece of heat spewing gamer ware is owned pretty badly. So they sue some hackers for apparently no good reason, annoy anonymous badly enough to suffer serious PSN DDOS problems then proceed to get seriously hacked in what appears a targeted operation prior to a massive earthquake and tsunami combination blasting a huge amount of Sony's production into oblivion. The PSN takes a month to bring back on-line when it's immediately compromised again prior to the compromising of it's movie site by an anonymous offshoot calling themselves lulz security.

But you can't keep a good company down .. Sony is still creating overpriced pointless low demand consumer gear apparently for markets that don't exist.

Thankfully we can watch the outstanding demise of Sony's share price with unprecedented accuracy.

Ever since shopping for a specific Sony product about 6 years ago, I've wondered how this company can stay afloat? Their cameras are never as good as the competitors, televisions are twice the price of comparable models, gaming equipment is lack-luster, laptops are overpriced and generally outdated, support staff are careless and script fed, warranty policies years behind the rest of the industry and their overarching corporate ideals are monopolistic, unrealistic and uncaring.

Sony is a corporation of the 21st century. Self-delusional of it's own power, greedy beyond reckoning and reckless with anything not directly affecting it's bottom line. Sadly in this case, it certainly seems that Sony is going to slowly slip beside the wayside in the wake of the next generation of technology leaders. With it's wide diversity of products and markets, this isn't going to happen quickly.

But here's hoping that it will happen. After my bad experiences with Sony in the past, I certainly won't be giving them another red cent .. and I encourage everyone else to also vote with their wallets.
