>>> Sony and Comcast: Two great giant corporate monoliths tastes that taste great together? Um, maybe. We’ll find out for sure when the Sony Style Comcast Labs store opens tomorrow in the Comcast Center. On display and for sale will be products that share synergy between the two companies, such as laptop/broadband services, and so on. Also, get a load of the audible gulp in this Mayor Nutter quote: “This is another great example of innovation and consumer technology being showcased in Philadelphia by Comcast. Comcast has attracted great partners like Sony that continue to benefit our citizens with cool products.” You OK there, buddy? [Earthtimes/Businesswire]
>>> Who’d a-thunk it? Easy listening radio station B101 is on the same side as mp3 bloggers and podcasters when it comes to streaming music online. To protest what it calls “excessive” royalty fees for streaming music, B101 is pulling its stream (which we didn’t even know existed) offline. [SmartBreif]
>>> And finally, regarding those K & G Stores “911″ ads that are running on like every local TV station right now: Congrats, K&G, you’re using the language of rape and murder reporting to sell pleated slacks. Let us know how that works out for you.
