How can a company stay in business when it is hemorrhaging cash? For 4 years no less!

Same reason govt can. They keep borrowing or issuing part ownership for a company (stocks).

He looks like he's aged 10 years in 6 years.

So he is saying basically that he wants to copy the iTunes business model. Yeah, Mr. Stringer, you deserve all that CEO pay for your "ideas".

Quickly reading the headline, I thought he'd survived rectal cancer.

I'd prefer not to know that the SONY chief has a horrible anus. Too much information...

Should read "Howardus horribilis"

if so, Howard Stringer may become "First Foreign Samurai" in Japan's business history !

Sure Sony has been hit hard this year. But would the company have been profitable without? I have doubts. Four consecutive years of losses in product areas with very short life cycles doesn't speak for the management. There's a strong smell of lame excuses.

God, are you sure all us peoples want this stuff, I DONT! I love music & checking the odd flick, but screw video games & who needs any connected devices to crank tunes or watch the idiot box!
We wud all be better off with less of this damned crap, just dont take my beer!

Agreed, but unlikely to happen given the huge walls that separate the various divisions of Sony. Sony is a 20th century, Japanese-style organization with too many layers and way too much compartmentalization. Can't compete against nimble, aggressive companies like Apple. Much like Japan in total, Sony's best days are well behind it.

lots of "I's" and very few "We's" in his statement
