Have you been following the Sony CD PR โ ๏ธ (link now 404 ๐ - March/24) nightmare? I couldnโt believe it when I heard it. In a nutshell Sony included a program on their audio CDs that loaded *without user knowledge* and blocked any attempts to copy the data. Apparently the program could be exploited to allow viruses and all sorts of crap in. How arrogant of Sony. Ironically I was just warming to the idea of getting a Sony PS3โฆNow I wonder if supporting such a company is what I want to do. Sigh. Sony admitted they were wrong and will be replacing all the CDs. Burn Sony, you deserve it.
Haโฆ another F you to Sony as the state of Texas is suing โ ๏ธ (link also 404 ๐ - March/24 - funny how these are all gone!) them! Donโt mess with TexasโฆVarious sites are predicting that Sonyโs console dominance is also in jeopardy. With the 360 coming out just in time for Christmas, the 360 is predicted to do well. Not sure how excited Iโm about more M$ monopoly. I guess one evil empire or the otherโฆ.
