In the quest for perfect protection of Sony’s intellectual property, the company threw the privacy and security of their customers under the bus.

Truly, from a very early age, I started distancing myself from other kids, not out of willingness, but just out of the nature of my energy. I liked to do things solely, and I already had a taste of the quest for perfection, which is unusual in a little kid.

You got to start by doing little things if your quest is to take over the world.
