John C. Dvorak points his cantankerous nature towardst he once great electronics giant Sony Corp. Come for the opinion, stay for the cantankery

Sony Corp. was once perceived as the creative young upstart Japanese electronics company that could do everything better than the competition. This company was the king of innovation. It essentially popularized the VCR (although its format lost its war), made the VCR legal (that was before it bought a Hollywood studio), popularized smaller studio video cameras, popularized the helical-scan professional VCR, created mobile audio with its Walkman, helped invent the CD, dominated the market for high-quality TV sets, and on and on. But its best skill today is to take a gun, target its own foot, and shoot.
