[dba-Tech] Tivo like object but not as smart

I read an article some time ago on slashdot and it mentioned about how
Sony was constantly at war with itself, because of the two camps it
must always struggle w/.  The awesome innovative hardware side vs the
software PR side.  except for Sony Vega software, all other
implementations really do suck.  I dig the menu of simplicity yet
elegance on all their hardware from TVs to Digital cameras, but I hate
the software they provide for working on the PC (that is, all except
Vega, of course IIRC they bought Vega some time ago...)
