Oh, and it failed due to faulty design defects.

And in 60 years all they have progressed onto is a Grill :lol:

ROFL. I couldn't resist it :lol: :D

Well, it was a good laugh. :)

Anyway, it's hard to imagine that the inventor of the 3.5 inch diskette, Triniton colour TV, transistor radio, walkman, CD, CD-ROM, DVD, the first home video, Blu-Ray, CELL and so on began with a rice cooker.

And it's even harder to understand that it also started the thierd biggest music company and the company with the biggest movie library, not forgetting the gross record for earnings on movies.

Oh well, why didn't I think of that rise-cooker? :(

Toshiba made DVD and Sony was against them with there MMCD format kind of like today with Blu ray and HD DVD

Yes Both Sony and Phillips where against Toshiba at first but both companies later joined in and helped out.

Btw Vongak i passed my digital circuit class :) ..but unfortunately failed at VLSI design :(

true

also i heard they kinda f***ed the DVD format up by adding somethong to the design to make it tougher but the side effect gave it less disc capacity it was originally supposed to hold 5GBs which kinda suck i guess that happens when oppusing sides make comprimises

Never heard of that but it could be true i do know that Sony did dislike something about DVD's ..but here's a question would you rather have a more capacity or slightly less capacity and a more durable format ?

Well one thing was for sure, Sony wouldn't risk another Betamax and opted to play it safe.

I guess that the lack of Movie studio support at the Betamax era is what made Sony realise that they needed a foothold in the entertainment industry to ensure backing of its future formats.

That was one of the wishes of Akio Morita i believe

You are taking VLSI? Cool, seems like you really want to know processing units from the lowest level possible and up, that's quite some digging.

Anyway, congrats with your digital circuit class, it's much more important( just tell them that a Danish person said so over the net). :D

yeah  i want to get a  EE degree and go into  cpu design  but i doubt that will ever happen .........

That's wouldn't surprise me at all, he had a lot to say till the end.

I'm not sure but wasn't it also him who decided that Sony should work in smaller groups concentrating on each their own territory? A great idea at the time but now with the internet and other forms for communication it's too impractical( guess it's the reason for the restructuring, but not sure).

Wow, it's 2:24AM :o See you people.
