I went to Krispy Kreme this morning. The hot light was on and I wanted a free doughnut. I found this sign. It was very sad. I thought about buying a 1.99 orange juice but then realized that the price of a doughnut was only 89 cents. By then I was so distraught that I just turned around and sadly walked out. Goodbye free original glazed. How I will miss you.
 
PS I thought it was tricky how them made something as negative as "No you can't have a free doughnut." sound so positive. Clever.

It would seem that they are. Their president and CEO, Howard Stringer, gave an interview this month. This segment caught my eye.
"Apple's iTunes Store uses its own proprietary DRM called FairPlay. I think this gives Sony a chance to provide something that Apple can't. And we have to move ahead and grab that opportunity before Apple begins to provide support for other hardware and blocks us out."
 
I wonder if he has heard yet that the iTunes store moved to DRM free music in January. I may be an Apple fan but I feel that most of Sony's products are hard to use. Sure they have a lot of great features, but they are too hard to use. They don't seem to understand that people want to enjoy using their technology.
 
Here is the link to the interview.
