...view that music was more business than art, and he demanded the Wailers produce songs on demand. The group spent two years in a trailer behind Coxsone’s place of business, toking up and pumping out new material. If the lazy tone of the two-disc collection shows anything, it’s that they did both aplenty. Coxsone then took Gordy’s lead and tried to convert Studio One into a “hit factory.” With Dodd’s guidance, the Wailers cultivated a fan following among urban Jamaica?...

...Microsoft's pinched supply line could foreshadow troubles for Sony. In anticipation of the PlayStation 3's worldwide release, Sony promises a manufacturing schedule of one million PlayStations 3's per month. But reports suggest that the cause of the delay is the Blu-Ray disc drive at the heart of the console. Blu-Ray was designed by Sony-along with Philips, Panasonic, Samsung, Pioneer and others-as a high-definition successor to the DVD, but the first Blu-Ray player has yet to hit the market, and is rumored to be difficult to manufacture...
