You might see a bunch of fake news on the internet tomorrow, but considering what we’ve seen of Sony’s new LA storefront, we’re fairly certain this isn’t a prank. That’s right, Sony’s launching a newly branded retail store in the City of Angels Friday, and from the look of things, it spared no expense. The 4,200-square foot space is the first to ditch the Sony Style moniker for the more simple Sony Store, and while the aesthetics are decidedly minimal, the experience is anything but. As you might expect, the shop offers demos of a slew of devices; it’s packed full of everything from VAIOs to ray modelers to 3D Handycams , and it’s also rocking a fully loaded home theater setup called “The Cube.” Considering the outfit’s been looking to up its retail cred , we’d say the new spot has the stuff to do the job, even if that bright white modular look does seem strangely familiar . If you’re in the LA area, you can check out the new digs starting tomorrow — if not, hit up the guided video tour above.

enlarge Lt. William Calley – considered by many to be a scapegoat for an even darker side. Click here to view this media No end to drama or news on this day in 1971. Starting with Sentencing of Lt. William Calley for his role in the My Lai Massacre to life without parole at hard labor and a mass outpouring of support for Calley and suggestions he was scapegoat for an even more sinister involvement to the U.S. Military view of the Vietnam war. Aftershocks continued over Southern California with the latest registering between 4.0 and 4.5 after the big earthquake in February. The Senate Sub-committee, looking into the pension funds of 87 corporations found that only 10% of employees who participated in them ever saw any money (surprise). Jimmy Hoffa was denied parole from prison for a second time. Fighting was continuing in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam while the Pentagon came out with the (sort of) good news that the May draft call-up would be only 15,000, which was 2,000 less than the previous month and lowest for the year so far. A Bill introduced in the Senate to abolish the Draft was defeated by 73-11 and the National Association of Broadcasters released the results of a Roper Poll on People’s Attitudes Towards TV News with the findings that most people still got their news from TV, with newspapers, radio and magazines following in that order. 49% thought TV news was most believable (?) – almost 50% believed no more government control was needed than was in place in 1971. And (get this . . .) a whopping 69% believed TV news was fair as far as political stances were concerned. And . . .Deputy Attorney General Richard Kleindienst said the Nixon Administration was against limiting political contributions. Fancy that. All in a days news – this one via NBC Nightly News for Wednesday March 31, 1971. And the word for today is – “Pucker Power”.
