Sony has been overdue for a restructure for a while now though, and I can't help but read the news that Sony is finally shutting down plants in Japan as good and bad news. The bad news is that 2000 people will be losing their jobs in Japan, which is a much bigger deal there then it is here in the west. The good news is that it sounds like Sir Howard Stringer is finally being given control of things from the old Japanese guard at Sony.
