When Sony launched the PS3 with that Cell processor that at launch-time was so expensive that Sony initially lost money on PS3's sold, but knew that over time the manufacturing costs would drop, that was pretty cool. That was a manufacturer launching with bleeding-edge, indisputable advanced technology, and was…

Um... the dividend they announced today is more like 1.75%, not less than .5%. And of course that is based on todays price, many people bought in at significantly lower prices, but will of course be enjoying the same per share dividend.

Since when is a retailer's gross annual revenue in any way related to their market value? Is this a new thing?

I agree, dub step might just be the worst thing that ever happened, but do hipsters listen to it? I always thought hipsters listened to The Strokes and Animal Collective and such. Are there different breeds of hipster?

No problem, I figure all of the non-douche bags should look out for each other, while simultaneously putting the douche bags in their place...

CD was a joint project between Sony and Philips, DVD was a consortium consisting mostly of Sony, Philips and Toshiba if I remember correctly, so...

Hash tags?? Come on, dude. It's not worth typing an explanation, but it is worth typing a statement saying that you don't think it's worth typing an explanation?? I call BS.
