> Many people suggest that startups not over-optimize on issues like security and performance when it's not their core business. > The same could be said of Sony: How so? The whole point of saying it about startups is that they are startups.. they have severely limited capital and resources and need to optimize for growth/revenue/continuing to exist. This does not apply to Sony. If you are storing medical records and SSNs and you are multi-billion dollar company; there is no viable excuse that looks anything like, "uhh.. yeah well we are really just an entertainment company."
