I'm serious about the 12-year-old point: that's not pejorative, I think that young people can sometimes be very good at identifying the problems that older people miss. Maybe youth has less to do with it than staying distant from convention, and having an imagination and attention for detail.
Sony will get so close at times, and then just... miss the mark. My super expensive ultraportable Vaio had some great ideas but a flimsy screen, bright aggressive LEDs, giant VAIO lettering all over, an awful out-of-box Crapware-Inside accept-these-license-terms experience, tragic speakers, a roaring-hot battery-draining graphics card, and a host of other little problems.
- Aloha 13y agoIt takes a certain amount of bluntness to shake people out of 'the process' and get them to pay attention to the actuality of whats going on. I've seen many companies where everyone is following process, and doing their job, yet nothing gets done, or worse, there is no quality improvement.
- CamperBob2 13y agoI think everybody pretty much knows what's wrong with Sony. No need to hire 12-year-olds or anyone else, besides a Jobs- or Gates-like authority figure who can put the DRM-obsessed content division and assorted NIH die-hards in the PC division in their place (or preferably ditch them altogether.)
