It hasn't been a good day for Sony CEO Howard Stringer. The executive
was in the hot seat Tuesday at the company's annual meeting with
shareholders in Tokyo where he fielded questions about the PlayStation
Network fiasco that left the personal information belonging to 77
million gamers in the hands of hackers.

It was here that a few cranky shareholders even called for him to step
down, according to Reuters.... Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street
Journal, Stringer’s salary and bonuses have been cut 16 percent to 345
million yen ($4.27 million) for the fiscal year that ended March 30 –
down from 410 million yen the year before.
