Some time ago I decided that I would no longer buy any Sony products. It's not because anyone told me to or because it was "hip" to boycott them. Lately, I have seen Sony releasing some compelling commercial products and it is hard to tell your friends why they shouldn't buy Sony products without sounding like some sort of zealot.
I like lists, so I am making a list of Sony's evil doings with sources so people can form opinions of their own. Please excuse the dramatic title, but actions do speak louder than words and I do believe Sony's actions reflect that it is a self-serving, evil corporation that will stop at nothing, to get it's way.

Using 102 key keyboards with an an Icelandic keyboard layout
One of the most frustrating things about the Icelandic keyboard layout is that the <>| symbols are bound to an extra key only found on 103 + key keyboards, this key is located left of the Z character.
Despite this you will often find 102 key keyboards and laptops with 102 key keyboards being sold in Iceland, while this isn't much of a problem for your standard windows user it's quite annoying for programmers and *nix users which depend on sh/bash shells.
In my frustration I ended up creating a new custom Icelandic keyboard layout for 102 key keyboards, here is the layout along with a guide on how to install it.
This map uses alt-gr and the ,.รพ keys for the <>| symbols, this is handy because it's an easy one hand keypress and because 102 key keyboards will have the <> symbols printed in that place.
