Thats one of the main reasons the IB is taking hold in the UK. IB Higher Math, as well as IB Further Math blow away A-Level Math and Further Math. With the majority of the IB classes based in proof, Students are trained much more to think outside of the classic problems, and apply what they have learned, rather than simply regurgitate.
How the PS3 Hit $600 535
Joystiq has up an interesting article today, gathering together information from a couple of places to discuss why the PlayStation 3 is so expensive. From the article: "Kutaragi was demoted after being passed over for the role of CEO and, when former Sony Pictures head Howard Stringer assumed the position, the relationship between the content and technology divisions of Sony became even more intimate. Stringer "quickly dubbed the PlayStation 3 as one of the company's 'champion' products." Kutaragi's desire to stratify the console market with Cell technology in effect wed Sony to the unpalatable prospect of charging an unprecedented price. Coupled with Sony's desire to not only push their own content on HD discs, but to control that medium with their proprietary Blu-ray format, the final price was escalated by two very advanced (and very expensive) pieces of Sony technology."
