Here is a presntation from Sony's Annual Shareholder Meeting.  While it goes on and on about how many e mail and cell phone messages are whirling around the world, I would point out that 85% of mine consist of my wife reminding me what I have not done lately, moral, same old message, new format and delivery.

Still Twitter has enabled market surveys as well as Revolutions, news indeed is traveling much faster than Paul Revere.

Before there was an Apple, there was Sony. Sony like Apple had a high quality reputation and was known for innovative products like its Trinitron tv. It pioneered the idea of a portable music player but got left in the analog dust when the iPod came along. And Sony wandered off into the movie business losing lots of money. Right now Apple sits atop the tech innovation pyramid. I doubt anyone else will burst that bubble as long as the competition embraces a Windows approach. My Apple laptop starts up and shuts down in seconds. My school supplied Dell takes well over a minute to do either and constantly goes to sleep and half the time shuts down when I attempt to arouse it. I have switched to the Apple at work.
