Comment Sony's Response to the Lik Sang announcement (Score 1) 722

From Sony's response to the Lik Sang Announcement:

" We would also like to express our surprise at a company releasing personal information about its consumers, as this is contrary to data protection principles around the world."

Maybe it's just me, but Sony has absolutely no room to talk about "principles" after the rootkit fiasco with their music CDs earlier this year. Sony wouldn't even let you download the patch to remove the rootkit without first giving them a bunch of personal information - information that is completely irrelevant the problem Sony created in the first place by adding a rootkit to their CDs.

Perhaps Sony should spend less time worrying about an importer and start worrying about bigger issues - such as the recall of 8 million batteries and counting, continued delays of Blu-Ray players, PS3 production issues, and public sentiment that seems to be mounting against Sony and their entire product line...

SGI Arises From the Ashes 195

eldavojohn writes "Six months ago, Slashdot reported on SGI's filing of Chapter Eleven Bankruptcy. I wondered why Slashdot kept the Silicon Graphics category with them now defunct. But Chapter Eleven means a reorganization — not liquidation. And, surprisingly, SGI has dusted itself off and stood back up. What did they dust off? About $150 million worth of spending a year. Will this reorganization put them back as a player in the graphics game? Maybe but as the article notes, they have some stiff competition that offer comparable services for less money. Is this a phoenix story or the final death throes of the company?" To be honest, no one here suspected a thing. We just keep the old topics around so it's still possible to find old stories related to them. Sometimes (like now!) they even still come in handy.
