And now to today's last word in Business, which is shutdown.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
That's what happened to Sony's popular online gaming service Tuesday morning after the company forgot to renew a key domain name.

GREENE: If only quotes were always that short. That's the Business News from NPR News, I'm David Greene.
