I hereby declare Sony to have had the worst 2006 year of any company. As if major PS3 shortages and being blamed for everyone's exploding batteries aren't enough, they now have to recall eight different models of Cyber-shot cameras that were sold between September 2003 and January 2005. The BBC is reporting that the glitch involves a problem with the image sensor which could cause the screen to improperly display images. No word on the total number of cameras being recalled, but Sony said they'll only repair cameras which are exhibiting the problem; in other words - you can't just send your camera off in hopes of receiving a shiny new one. The affected models are: DSC-F88, DSC-M1, DSC-T1, DSC-T11, DSC-T3, DSC-T33, DSC-U40 and DSC-U50.I can't find many more details on how to determine if your camera is affected or how to participate in the recall process, but this Sony support page might be a good place to start.

I've noticed that the most recent post on Engadget is about an apple tablet, and the most recent post here is about Sony Cameras. Maybe you guys should swap bloggers, or something.

Sony's losing billions over these mistakes. As Maddox put it, anyone with a job is earning more than Sony right now.

Do these bloggers get paid per post? Is this why this superfluous and unrelated post is here?

I know you guys tend to put stuff on the blog that's only tangentially related to Apple (like all the stuff about the Zune) and I happen to actually like that about TUAW. But for Pete's sake, don't you guys have any standards?

I am with you guys.. I am SO angry that I have to scroll 4 whole inches to overlook this entry, even though its info is useful to me.
But I can't ignore this urge to complain about something.
