...that was in Fortune about Sony's new (Scottish!) CEO. The interviewer asked him what Sony's most fundamental problem was and he replied (paraphrasing):
"I own seven different Sony products and have seven different battery chargers and wall-wart power supplies. That's the problem."
Haha! Well put. He was pointing to how Sony was divided up into too many separate (and strictly hardware-oriented) fiefdoms that didn't team up on anything.
And good luck to him. Goddamn.
