God damn, I'm so sick of seeing Penny Arcade links in Slashdot stories. Yes, I am a huge fan of Penny Arcade. I've got pretty much all their strips since two years ago saved on my hard drive, I even used to subscribe for their monthly get-interesting-stuff thing. But come on, they write a fucking webcomic . Cool as they are, and as incredible as their webcomic is, this does not make their comments about anything some kind of news-worthy announcement. People who already care about what Gabe and Tycho have to say will have already read it. People who don't aren't likely to be swayed just because they pulled a game from their fictional awards "show." Gah, and now I'm posting meta-comments on Slashdot. LAME.

I'm no engineer but if Apple could only get up to 2.5 GHz in their big as a tank many fan G5 case why should we believe the new XBox is going to be able to house a 3.5+ GHz chip?
