It probably means: We sell each TV for more than the marginal cost of making each TV, but we don't recoup enough money from this to cover the R&D/once-off costs. In this circumstance, Sony is doing what anyone else would do and it makes perfect sense, you've lost the up-front costs, but you might as well keep selling TVs if they are selling more than the marginal cost.

I agree - they also didn't smash the record either, as there wasn't one there to break.

The streamliner, named “Electric Blue,” competes in the “E1” class, which includes cars weighing less than 1,100 pounds. Because electric cars rely on heavy batteries, engineering a speedy vehicle at such a light weight is very difficult. That’s why there were no prior certified speed runs for this class

Hats off to them though, still a pretty impressive feat!

I leave Chrome going for as long I can leave Windows going without grounding to a halt (typically about a month).

You get a nice little update icon on the 'spanner' symbol telling you that updates are available and will be applied the next time that you restart Chrome - otherwise it leaves you alone.
