    Breathless corporate irresponsibility Anonymous -- 17/10/06

    Hey, isn't this the company that brought us the XCP rootkit to infect all PC's and Mac's that played their trojaned music CDs? Didn't they also try and brush that under the carpet and were forced to recall them? Twelve months later and they're still up to their old tricks - trying to hide their faults and only acknowedge them under duress.

    Watch for the next product recall - all Lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Sony, not only for laptops, but mobile phones and other appliances.

    Other manufacturers that have been caught up in this fiasco have copped a lot of flack over this. Corporate memories can last a long time...

    Shame Sony, shame!
