Sony, Sharp and Panasonic lose $21 billion in 2011

The article is about Sony but thought that tidbit was more interesting, Apple and Samsung are trouncing the "old guard."

"The three companies expect a combined loss for the year just ended of $21 billion - more than Sony's entire market value, which has slumped by close to a fifth in the past month. Samsung is 10 times more valuable, while Apple, which Sony executives considered buying in the early 1990s, is worth 30 Sony's."
