Oh My God This Is So Incredibly Surprising And Totally Unexpected: Sony To Close Connect Music And Video Services!!

Sony Connect To Close Music/Video Services; Focus on Servicing Playstation Group; 20 People To Go

The Sony Connect experiment is about get, well, disconnected: it will be winding down its music and video services in the next couple of months, and focus on servicing the Playstation group on the technical needs, paidContent.org has learned and confirmed. In an all-hands meeting yesterday in Sony’s offices, employees were told that about 20-plus jobs are being phased out during this winding-down phase as a result of this closure. The eBooks division will remain however, as it will be servicing Sony Reader product.

Well, duh!

Hello From The Future July 29, 2019

I’m writing this in 2019. Who knew I’d get here? Not me. This blog is being thinned. There are posts that are no longer useful. Truth is, many of those should have never been published to begin with.

Apple iPhone warning proves true Some owners are reporting on technology blogs and Apple’s own forums that the update is deleting contacts information, as well as photos and music, on iPhones that have not been modified in any way. When I coined the term “Death Star Upgrade,” I envisioned the iPhone becoming this huge, formidable […]

Of last year’s small attendees, only Supacam and GelaSkins came back. No Pepper. And, shockingly, no Sony! I wanted to fondle the new Sony Reader, dammit. Even though Palm had four Meeting Rooms, no Foleo. Palm was all Centro. No Asus Eee in sight or even hinted at. Damn! The show was shockingly small. My […]

Blog Notes: DigitalLife Expo Today September 27, 2007

All of you had better hope that Palm acts true to form and does not bring a Foleo for me to molest. All of you had better hope there is not an Asus Eee there for me to molest. If either of those appear, you think I’m going to write up my Patented Detailed As […]
