Sony To Cut About 10K Jobs
Pichu0102 writes "Reported by the Washington Post, Sony says it will cut about 7% of its jobs as well as sell about $1 billion of it's assets. It also will declare a loss for this year." From the article: "To help boost efficiency, Sony said it has abolished the company system that Stringer said was preventing different business units from communicating freely, causing overlap in development and missed opportunities in the market. The electronics group will be reorganized to place centralized decision-making over key business areas under Ryoji Chubachi, who became Sony's new president and electronics CEO in a major overhaul of management in June." Another reorg on the heels of Microsoft's decision from earlier this week.
Sony: Because Caucasians Are Just Too Damn Tall
Better yet, Sony should open up the PSP to more codecs, and give users easy ways to ADD videos to their PSP, encode them, library them, and give them a better OS. The PSP is too fucking hacky, and they're taking far to long to figure out what to do with it. The users already know. They want to put their videos and music on it, and use it like a fucking ipod. WHATS SONY DOING? Nothing. Fucking sony and they're UMD movies.
Sony Trinitron was the $hit for many years.
So if a product is "shit", that's bad. But if a product is "the shit", that's good. People whine about 1984-speak all the time but then go ahead and fuck with the language anyway because it's trendy to do so. Losers.
