Ahh beta max you should all know what this is. It was a home video format that you can use to record on to. It's competitor was the format we all know and love VCR. So what in the fuck did Sony do to fuck this up? Well Sony is never bright when inventing new formats or hell even fucking exploding batteries. Sony in its life had only one good product and that was the trinitron. So why did VCR win over Beta Max? Well because one Sony don't listen to their customers. Fucking Sony thinks that they can tell you what to like and that you will accept it. Everyone thinks that Sony lost out because they wouldn't allow porn on the beta max. I for the longest time believed that this was true. That's until I did some research for this rant. What I found out that Sony was fucking stupid. What happened is that RCA asked Sony for a 4 hour machine and Sony said no. Sony felt that 4 hours would degrade the quality ..insert more bullshit here.. etc..etc.. So thanks to Sony RCA said well fuck you then. So RCA then asked JVC to make a format and that was how VCR was made.  Now I am still trying to figure out why the cock suckers at Sony said no to a 4 hour tape. But this is Sony and for years Sony has employed engineers that graduated form preschool so they are more interested in shoving things up their noses then doing any fucking work. The research and development team has shoved one to many fucking cyan's up their noses because they don't know fucking shit about what r&d is. So why was a 4 hour take so important? Well football of course the average televised football game as 4 hours. Americans love football and if you give then something that can record the game so they can make the wife happy they will love it. So not only can they give the nagging wife off their back but they can now watch the game at any time and also rewind it to see great plays.

Now if you take a long look at Sony and realize that the fucking assholes are ran by people with the mentality of preschoolers then you have to say oh maybe Sony isn't that fucking stupid when I think about it. The last thing Sony cares about is its customers. I know most companies are evil but at least they have some clue what customers want and some of them even take suggestions from customers. So Sony please take your head out of your fucking ass and listen to your fucking customers. They are the ones that make you the fucking money. I still understand why with all of Sony's failures why they are still in business. ok here is a list of Sony failures.
1.)Mini-Disk
2.)Multi-Media Compact Disc
3.)Music Clip
4.)HiFD
5.)Super Audio CD
6.)PSP
7.)PS3
8.) Blue-ray(yes it will die trust me)
  Honorable mention Sony laptop batteries

How in the fucking  hell is this fucking company still in business? Seriously any company with one of them failures would have died. Is Sony so fucking evil its the anti-christ? I can only see that reason for why its still alive. I have only bought one Sony product and that was a mini-disk. After realizing my mistake I sold it right away. Then I love how sony still uses their fucking format when no one wants to use it. Like take a sony digital camera. Every one uses SD cards today but fucking sony has to has their memory fucking stick in their cameras. Um.. hello sony you lost if you want to sell more fucking cameras then use a fucking standard format. No one wants you piece of fucking shit proprietary format that you refuse to let it die. Has Sony even learned from its mistakes? STOP TRYING TO MAKE NEW SHIT NO ONE WANTS IT.

Ahh last but no least the root kits. How is this fucking legal? its my fucking computer not yours so why put software on my computer to prevent me to do what I want to do. Sony made a rootkit that goes on to a computer that stops you from copying Cd's. WHO they fuck are they to tell me what to do? Its my fucking cd and if I want to fucking rip it and give it to some homeless guy that's my fucking business. People where upset about this and had complained. so sony stopped the root kits for a while. So they brought  back the root kit in a game called bio shock. Not only does the game have the root kit but so does the fucking demo off the Internet? why do you need to have a fucking root kit in a fucking demo? Sony has gotten out of hand and needs to be stopped but Americans seem to forgive to easy. Well fuck you sony!
