Well, the nervous Nellies who run things in Coshocton County, Ohio have overcome their Sony-induced incontinence long enough to turn their Wi-Fi hotspot back on, according to a local TV station. Seems like Sony didn't like all the negative publicity directed-wrongfully, they maintain-toward them as opposed to the bigwigs who lost their heads when the ISP passed along their "Waah! Waaaaah! Somebody stole one of our precious pieces of intellectual property, and they used your network to do it; waaaah, WAAAAAAAAH!" complaint, and thus they went hat-in-hand to the aforementioned bigwigs and asked them to restore the service.
You know, you've really got to feel bad for Sony if you're a longtime technology fancier. Those of us who remember the impact the original Walkman had-and for those of you too young for that, take my word; it was an impact the iPod only approximated a generation later-can't help but shake our heads at this company's repeated missteps since then. And what's worse, it doesn't seem to learn from its mistakes. Throw the phrase "Sony rootkit" into a search engine and see how many hits you still get. Now how do you figure a company that got itself into that much trouble trying to "protect its intellectual property" could manage to blunder into a public-relations nightmare like the present one?
