    Like the world needed yet another reason not to buy Sony products. I personally, in just the recent year, consciously did not buy the following superior-quality Sony products, opting instead for their competitors: headphones, camera, LED TV. Just because they were Sony.

Used to be a huge fanboy... and I mean I used everything - email, docs, blogger, maps, adwords, adsense, freaking shopping site, everything. Now the only one I have left is Gmail, to make sure nobody steals whatever accounts I haven't moved off of it yet.
