Sony's Walkman digital music player outsold Apple's iPod in Japan last week for the first time in more than four years, according to electronics research firm BCN.

Sony, whose Walkman cassette players pioneered the portable-music industry in the late 1970s, gained market share after introducing models including the W series of cordless players that sell for under $US108.

It also creates online nationalism, which could be considered as a growing potential turbulence.

I agree what you talked about the online nationalism of Chinese as a growing potential turbulence. In fact, there are a lot of cases showing the trend of the ' growing potentail turbulence'. The debate between Chinese governement and the Melbourne Film Festival on the documentary of Rebiya Kadeer (The 10 Conditions of Love) has led to breakdown of Film Festival's offical site. People believed that the site has hacked by Chinese hacker. I believe that the Chinese nationalism is obviously leading to an online nationalism which may impact on both positive and negative sides.
