Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches

Oldcynic writes "As Sony struggles to restore the Playstation Network we receive news today of another breach, this time at Sony Ericsson in Canada. 'Sony Corp. spokesman Atsuo Omagari said Wednesday that names, email and encrypted passwords may have been stolen from the Sony Ericsson Canada website, but no credit card information was taken.' Another group managed to penetrate Sony Entertainment Japan yesterday as well. I almost feel bad for them.

I believe you're mistaken.
Sony is the company that invented videocassettes (Umatic and Betamax). Sony is the company that invented Betacam. The 3.5 inch floppy. The Compact Disc. Rewritable magneto-optical discs. THAT'S the company the grandparent poster was talking about when he said "innovative".
