Sharp Warns That It Might Collapse 284
angry tapir writes "Japan's Sharp, a major supplier of LCD displays to Apple and other manufacturers, has warned that it may not survive if it can't turn around its business. The Osaka-based manufacturer said there is "material doubt" about its ability to continue operating in its earnings report filed Thursday. Sharp added, however, that it still believes it can cut costs and secure enough credit to survive. Its IGZO technology for mobile displays is likely to be a key element of its business strategy."

What does anyone really expect when SHARP sells BS products like the Sharp IG-BC2UB High Density Plasmacluster Ion Generator for Car Use [amazon.com]?
What does that even mean?

Perri-air, fresh from Druidia, will always be the best.

Apple is more likely to buy Sharp and try to keep the entire supply chain in-house.
But a "Sharp Apple" could leave a bitter taste

Without Monster Cables, the other displays are going to be cubic but far less rounded, the contrast less warm, and the colours markedly less spatial. I'm no expert, but even my unprofessional eye can spot these differences if I'm told up-front that Monster cables are being used.

What if it was a Sharp Apple with rounded corners?

Joking, thankfully. Just pleasantly entertained by the crowd who think their DVDs will become 1080 HD if they use Monster HDMI cables, lovingly crafted under the first full moon of Autumn and electrically insulated by braiding the hair of virgins (female) with yeti pubic hair.
