Vaio
VAIO Corporation (, standing for Visual Audio Intelligent Organizer) is a manufacturer of personal computers. Vaio was originally a brand of Sony Corporation, introduced in 1996. Sony sold its PC business to the investment firm Japan Industrial Partners in February 2014 as part of a restructuring of the corporation to focus on mobile devices. Sony maintains a minority stake in the new, independent company, which currently sells computers only in Japan. Sony also has an exclusive marketing agreement with VAIO Corporation.
==Etymology==
Originally an acronym of Video Audio Integrated Operation, this was amended to Visual Audio Intelligent Organizer in 2008 to celebrate the brand's 10th anniversary. The logo concept was created by Teiyu Goto, supervisor of product design from the Sony Creative Center in Tokyo. He incorporated many meanings into the logo and acronym: the pronunciation is similar to "bio", which is symbolic of life and the product's future evolution; it's also near "violet", which is why most early Vaios were purple or included purple components. Additionally, the logo is stylized to make the "VA" look like a sine wave and the "IO" like binary digits 1 and 0, the combination representing the merging of analog and digital signals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://blog.sony.com/2009/08/answered-what-does-vaio-stand-for-anyway/ )〕 The sound some Vaio models make when starting up is derived from the melody created when pressing a telephone keypad to spell the letters V-A-I-O.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Team Sony )〕〔VAIOホームページ（Internet Archiveのバックアップデータ）, (The philosophy of VAIO「VAIO」の由来とフィロソフィー ) 2000年 (Japanese)〕
