No sería de extrañar después de que Panasonic y Vizio hayan hecho lo propio, a causa de su baja rentabilidad. Por otro lado, el artículo señala que LG revitalizaría la producción de televisiones CRT para países en desarrollo, una operación un tanto rara dadas las tendencias actuales. Una lástima por el plasma: fue bonito mientras duró. — Rafa M. Claudín [CrunchGear] [...]

In American trade shows, manufacturers show new products in booths. In Britain they have stands.

On the left side of the big pond, a truck can go on an elevator. On the right side, a lorry goes on the lift.

Inside an American truck, the instruments are on the dashboard. In Britain, they’re on the fascia.

The American truck’s engine is under the hood. In Britain it’s under the bonnet.

Regardless of the terminology, the warm soda and beer served in London tastes terrible.

I understand this isn't an uncommon usage in the States (though I have never seen it in the UK), and I had just started to get used to it. Then, you go and confuse me all over again by using it mean something more along the lines of "ceases production of" (which is, incidentally, what I thought those other article subjects had meant all this time). I find it awfully bizarre that over the other side of the pond you can happily use the same word to mean two almost directly opposite things.
