Sonicblue files for Chap 11

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

An anonymous reader writes "ReplayTV and Rio maker Sonicblue is a goner, filing for bankruptcy and selling their assets to D&M, the Japanese parent company of Denon and Marantz. No word what will happen to all those Replay users out there -- that $140 deal on Amazon isn't looking so hot now, is it?"

    "from the dept."

    Pretty sad. Can't even afford their dept. here on Slashdot.

      There is a NULL in there that you missed. "from the (NULL) dept." implies that SonicBlue has turned into nothing, and that if anyone tries to dereference their assets it will blue-screen the parent company's accounting. See? It is a coding reference and a Microsoft dig all in one!

    Expect, if that happens, Sony will replace the hard drive in the Tivos with memory sticks.
