brutalny, prawdziwy tekst<\/a> o debilnym (te\u017c nie znajduj\u0119 innego s\u0142owa) uporze Sony i o krety\u0144skich akcjach (Apple<\/a> te\u017c tu zawini\u0142o z Pepsi<\/a>) marketingowych; drogich i bez sensu.

w\u0142a\u015bciwie ka\u017cde zdanie nadaje si\u0119 do cytowania.<\/p>\n

(\u2026) Sony is effectively ignoring about 99% of the mobile MP3 player market here (\u2026)<\/p>\n

They they plug in their iPod. Nope doesn’t work.
\nFrustrated, they call Sony, or write an angry e-mail. The probably polite Sony phone center rep tells the person that they should buy a Sony MP3 player, and the restrictions are right there on page 32 of the fine print. In polite kiss up speech, the nice McDonalds customer is told to get bent.
\n(\u2026)
\nMusic companies are busy building higher and higher walls, and the company execs are sitting inside rubbing their hands together waiting for the money to flow in(\u2026)
\n(\u2026)
\nI see an impending consumer revolt.(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

ja te\u017c.<\/p>\n

update <\/strong>: Sony: electronics behemoth<\/em><\/a> \u2013 to ca\u0142kiem \u0142adna nazwa. ale problem jest\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026that the source of the problem lies in Japan<\/strong>, which wants to force products on consumers to buy products by only using standards that people need their special devices<\/strong> to listen to or view. He believes that the debate over which formats to support will continue on past this first wave of new products we\u2019re seeing, and that another contact at Sony, one who deals with high-level executives in Tokyo, told him that the company\u2019s top leadership makes decisions based on what is popular Japan<\/strong> and feels that what they make should be based only on what Japanese consumers like (see MiniDisc). They refuse<\/strong> to pay attention to other trends around the world\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

update 2 <\/strong>:
\nfacet o ksywie: Ynoxas<\/a> uj\u0105\u0142 to chyba najzwi\u0119\u017alej (cho\u0107 wielu ludzi ju\u017c o tym pisa\u0142o):<\/p>\n

It is stunning that Sony would continue to do what noone wants them to do.
\nEven proprietary fanatics Apple realized you have to bend sometimes. The result? The phenomenon of the iPod. Which is exactly what Sony is trying to get a piece of here, except they are doing it wrong.
\nSony has allowed their 2nd rate entertainment division to ruin their first-class electronics division<\/strong>.<\/em>
\n……………………………….
\nby\u0107 mo\u017ce problem jest zwyczajnie<\/strong> psychologiczny: jak si\u0119 nosi jedwabne garnitury (koszule, krawaty\u2026)<\/a>, interesuj\u0105 nas wy\u0142\u0105cznie: golf i kino<\/a>, a gdy ju\u017c jeste\u015bmy w domu, wolimy bywa\u0107 w jazzowych klubach<\/a>, gdzie muzyk\u00f3w znamy z imienia i poklepujemy (nie, to chyba zbyt ameryka\u0144skie!) po ramieniu \u2013 lepiej by\u0107 szefem firmy, kt\u00f3ra zajmuje si\u0119 Szo\u0142biznesem, nie jak\u0105\u015btam<\/strong> prymitywn\u0105 produkcj\u0105 dla zwyk\u0142ych ludzi.<\/p>\n

klasyk\u0105 gatunku jest tu text w Forbes: Sony has suffered from hubris,<\/strong> the pride that kills.<\/a> Several years ago, a Sony executive told me that because it no longer had „any real competitors” it must concentrate on its „creative dreams”\u2026<\/p>\n

Big company, like a dinosaur, will be eaten up by the ants\u2026<\/strong> \u2013 powiedzia\u0142 kiedy\u015b<\/a> szef Sony Nobuyuki Idei.
\nale ile czasu to zajmie?<\/p>\n

update 3<\/strong> (i wi\u0119cej nie b\u0119dzie): No MP3 + DRM = No Sale.<\/a><\/p>\n

via Gen Kanai<\/a> \u2013 thanks!<\/p>\n

update 4<\/strong> (a jednak; to jakie\u015b uzale\u017cnienie\u2026):
\nwhen You look at the comments about Sony’s Connect in „old” media (i.e. Stereophile<\/a>) \u2013 it’s nice work of Sony’s PR\u2026 but:<\/p>\n

„Are they going to kill Apple? Absolutely not,” said Van Baker<\/a>, a vice president at research firm GartnerG2. „If Sony Connect is compared to iTunes, there ain’t no comparison. It’s hard to argue with Apple’s success. Right now, the business model is to use your music to sell your hardware.”
\n(…)
\n„No one on the planet dares ignore Steve Jobs,” Doherty said<\/a>. Consumer electronics-makers like Sony and Panasonic have „a fear of what he sees that they’ve missed.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
