Look at the irony: just when the story about Steve Jobs' old desire to put the Mac OS on Sony, the company confirmed today that it is abandoning the PC market and that it has sold its famous brand “VAIO” to a Japanese investment fund. The value of the agreement would be around 40-50 billion yen (~ R $ 1 billion), according to the Nikkei, and will be completed by March. Approximately 5,000 employees will be dismissed. (TechCrunch)
