The Myth of the Sony 'Kill Switch'

While this story is about the infamous Sony Kill Switch, I think it is safe to say most of us are convinced that "ALL" products are programmed to blow up the minute the warranty expires. It is just the way of the world.

For nearly 20 years Sony in Japan has been plagued by the myth of the "Sony Timer" – but is there really a kill-switch that destroys your device just after its warranty runs out? Many Japanese genuinely believe that there is.
