That is the correct assessment but I'll disagree about the PC + PS3 choice.

While I'm not a big Halo fan (I finished the first and 2nd Halo campaigns I think), you have to admit that multiplayer Halo is like a religion to many people and is not to be dismissed lightly.

And yes, Uncharted and God of War brought me a lot of joy but the online experience on the PS3 sucks compared to Xbox Live.

Personally, I want to play street fighter online and the Xbox is the best platform to do so. PC + 360 ain't cutting it.

I'm saying this as someone who only owns a PC and a PS3 at the moment.

The PPC+SPE combo units ARE the far-out architecture of the PS3 he was talking about.

He was not talking about the PPC alone.

For desktops, always use an SSD as your OS/Applications drive.

For casual photographs: Buy the smartphone with a cutting edge camera. You'll have your phone with you more often than a camera.

For tvs: size first, then black levels, then refresh rates. You can safely ignore the rest.

Sony hasn't lost any customers with this whole thing. In fact, they gained many customers since the PS3 was hacked.

If people could force sony to exchange their PS3 with an xbox360, then I'm sure maybe 5 or 10% of PSN customers would switch.

Under current conditions, negligible amounts of people will switch.

It will definitely not sell for $250. You must account for inflation and the fallen dollar.

If they go with separate SKUs like MS and SONY, I'll bet the cheapest and crappiest one will cost $300, and the others will hover around the $450 mark.

Mark my words!

In conclusion, piracy is a noble service performed by historians dedicated to preserving the human intellectual heritage for the decades and centuries to come, when DRM servers are dead and legit copies are uselessly crippled.

Nonsense. Component looks great, I've tried it with 480p, 720p and 1080p and the image quality is indistinguishable from HDMI.

Microphone in the kinect. Just speak "channel 34" or, even better, "CNN sports".

Any further questions?

We had 4.7GB DVD-Rs when HDDs were around 20 GB. a 4:1 ratio.

Today, we have 500GB HDDs while bluray media is 25GB. a 20:1 ratio, soon to be 40:1 or more.

The speed needed to burn enough data has stagnated while data volumes have ballooned immensely.

By 2020, SSDs will come in multiple TBs. As a rule of thumb, today's internet will fit in a laptop's storage in 2042. The same is true today with 1982's internet.

The professor only says good news when he has bad news so all of you have it backwards!

I think paying $360/year to read it on my iPhone and iPad is an absolute bargain.

Who's with me?

So basically, openGL is to direct3d what the gimp is to photoshop.

Because sexy Apple products make computer geeks sexier by extension. Steve Jobs is personally invested in the grand mission of helping neck-beards get laid.

In return, we give Apple insane coverage. Simple really.
