115w ago - With news of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunamis in Japan, several Sony factories are currently closed as a result of the disaster.
To quote from Engadget (linked above): "Sony and Toyota have both stopped operations in their factories due to damage. Tragically, one Honda worker lost his life after a wall collapsed, while several Panasonic workers are said to have suffered minor injuries.
It remains to be seen exactly what impacts this will have on consumers, but Sony's closed factories were responsible for the production of Blu-ray discs and batteries, while the numerous automotive shutdowns could result in short-term shortages. This bad news sent stocks downward, with German share prices for Sony dropping 2.5 percent and Honda 4.5 percent.
We're still watching with concern to see what other impacts the resultant tsunamis could have, but for now we'll keep hoping for the best."
Yeah, the mobo's layout matched with pictures online for SEM-001. Sucks none of the E3 solutions work for it.
I haven't heard about these alternate s...
I wish the japanese well during this trying time... but I'm beyond disgusted with the usa getting shot on media-wise all over the globe but we are the first to be turned to when it hits the fan and someone needs a helping hand...
I wished the japanese people well.
I will pray for japan and i hope god help them.
Thanks in Advance.
Good luck to all those hit by this disaster. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
