Sony = OMG! The government must protect us from the evil haxors and get your restitution from our insurance.

Bought the phone because it was supposed to play MP3's.
Bricked the phone copying a music collection to it (drag & drop).
Got a new phone under warranty and was told to use crapsody haven't used the music player since (1.5yr) which was the reason I bought the phone in the first place.
I will be much more careful in the next go around.....
I am in favor of making the people that run them directly responsible for the consequences. They can't be allowed to profit and then go "aw gee what happened?".
To continue to receive the government grants, subsidies, and tax breaks.
By releasing this statement, I'd guess they are bucking for more $.
As long as Uncle Sugar is handing out food coupons they will dip into that trough.
And that trough is such good stuff that I'm sure there are employees who's only job is to leverage to keep that trough full.
I have seen companies run similar programs (ugh excuse me, maintain the appearance of running a program) just to be able to continue to dip in that trough.
The problem is that transformers that distribute power from the electrical grid to homes are often designed to handle less than about 12,000 watts
often designed to handle 12,000 watts? Hogwash. That's 50 amp service (in North America, where homes are almost always supplied at 240VAC). Most new homes in North America receives at minimum 200 amp service. Even my rural 1956 rancher has 70 amp service.
And this is a single home. Most transformers supply several houses. If there are any transformers rated at 12KW, they are very few and far between, and probably service locations that aren't likely to have electric cars anyhow.
Ditto to that reply.
I would also add that this article is FUD designed to position the power companies to receive federal aid to improve the system they have been sucking profits out of (and not improving) for a half an eon.
"Oh dear! What are we going to do!!! All of these electric cars are bringing down our distribution system.... People might be without power!!!!!"

They are preying on the Human psyche's insane need for a group hug.
They are hated because they are profiting on that.

That once we granted corporations "individuals rights" everything went straight to hell in a handbasket.

You said "that won't be obsolete in two years"
Sony has been reading the SCO playbook....
I am concerned with what it will be replaced by in our pump gas.
Remember what the methylbutyleither (MTBE whatever) crap did to us.
So what is the next waste product that will fill our gas tanks? (naturally it will be federally subsidized)
