Is There Still Hope for Sony?

Sony didn't invent anything, let alone "portable music"....come on already. They took a PHILIPS compact cassette and put it in a smaller cae. Philips invented teh audio cassette in teh 60's, they already had a portable cassette player/recorder..Sony took that idea, like they did with teh CD which PHILIPS brought to them and went with it. Philips didn't market it like Sony does on everything. Sony is a marketing company, they have not much going for it besides spending more on advertising than anyone. They didn't "invent" teh single gun CRT either, which they tagged Trinitron" and marketed it. do some reserach, Sony is a big marketing company, that they can't do that anymore either. They BUY LCD from Samsung, they had to have phones saved by Erricson, music by BMG, tv's by Samsung, they now even buy from even cheaper suppliers...The CD was brought to them as a working system by PHILIPS, becasue Matsushita turned it down, as being a partner on it.

Microsoft's Potential Is Exponential

They need GE experts to run them. GE being teh best run company in teh world. I guess Bill Gates knows somethings going down, that's why he has left teh building. Current finacial guys at MSFT are just not with it. GE managment could transform it into a power again. This stock has been dead money for years, they just started paying a div it ain't enough. GE has been paying a div and never missing one since something like teh 1930's or sumptin'. I coulda' left my money in a 4% plan and made more money than what is sitting in this flat liner. Maybe Gooble and Yahoo should team up and BUY MSFT!!!
