ACTUALLY A GREAT REVIEW OF AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT
And not so much on the politics of Microsoft or Sony’s domination

”Why Not Hate Sony?” David Pogue asks, sort of rhetorically, in his latest column for the NY Times. He’s comparing Sony to MS, and the negative emotions that law-breaking, monopolistic enterprise evokes in some people, including yours truly. Perhaps it’s because while Sony makes a lot of different products, they haven’t driven anyone out of the marketplace. I can buy a TV, or a video camera, or a digital camera, or a PDA, or tape recorder, or a robotic dog from any of a number of other credible vendors. Perhaps it’s because Sony products are often actually innovative, and usually work the way you expect them to. [Time’s Shadow]
