Sony Ericsson feels margins pinch

Lloyd Wilson

as you sow so shall you reap

That's what you get for treating your flagship early-adopters like dirt. After 14 months and with firmware issues still unresolved, the closest to management communication beleaguered p990 owners have got was an announcement relayed second-hand through a PR operative that support would cease forthwith. One can only hope that new management will adopt a more enlightened approach.

No wonder P990 owners are protesting. See http://digg.com/gadgets/Dissatisfied_Sony_Ericsson_smartphone_customers_speak_out http://digg.com/software/Unhappy_with_SonyEricsson_s_treatment_Open_Letter_to_the_new_CEO and http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=334979

AI egghead: Human-robot humping, marriage by 2050

strange bedfellows

"No different from same-sex, or inter-racial nuptials". Iindeed?!

"One hundred years ago, interracial marriage and same-sex marriages were illegal in the United States."

This headline and passage constitute an offensive attempt to insult same-sex and more so different-race partners by lumping them in the same bundle with mechanical stimulants.

The editors have enhanced the offensiveness by highlighting the passage in the headline.

How could anyone in full possession of their faculties begin to compare a robot sexual "partner" with a caring human spouse? Remember, the basic genetic purpose of sex, marriage and family is procreation.

Why am I not surprised?

That's what you get for giving your flagship early-adopters buggy kit and the "shut up and suffer" treatment. Just have a look at the currently circulating open letter to SE's new CEO at http://www.bli.com.ar/openletter/open.html.
