Comments on: Howard Stringer channels Howard Beale. Now what?

Sony's CEO wants his troops to "get mad." Here's my question: Is Sony more screwed up than we thought?

Hmmm - here's an interesting idea: maybe Sony should approach Apple about partnering up. Join forces, put Steve Jobs in ultimate control of both and place Howard Stringer as chairman of the board. With Apple's innovation and Sony's reputation the two could become a force of amazing potential. Somebody call Jobs!

Ah! I guess Sony got around to reading my blog! They really did drop the ball and you can see it on the face of every Japanese person who ogles an iBook. Pride can be a terrible thing. Went to the Westchester Mall in White Plains a few months ago: Apple's store was jammin' with at least 40 people in there, and down the hall on the lower level, Sony's little shop of horrors had one middle-aged Oriental couple with the store all to themselves, quietly fingering a Vaio and looking like the Last of the Mohicans. Sony makes better headphones than Apple, that I can say, and they certainly have some good tech, but what the heck are they gonna' do come this Christmas when Apple releases its own killer game console? BASF, Sun Micro, and the likes - Sony should join them as the tech behind the tech, because they are no longer a brand name. <http://johnalphonse.blogspot.com/2008/02/sony-why-drive-when-its-cheaper-to-fly.html>
