Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely 183

The Opposable Thumbs blog reports on a confluence of rumors and information leaks that suggest Sony will be unveiling a PS3 Slim sooner rather than later. Despite waning console sales, orders for PS3-related hardware have risen sharply. There's evidence to suggest that Sony is phasing out its 80GB model, which would help clear the way for a hardware revision. Some expect the official announcement to come as early as August 18th, during the gamescom expo in Germany.

Comment Zero, Black Swan (Score 1) 630

If what you're looking for is just readable books that bring forth a new perspective on maths, then I personally recommend Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Impact-Highly-Improbable/dp/1400063515/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234133817&sr=8-1 This book is a highly engaging, readable introduction to thinking about the limitations of statistical probabilities. Also, if anyone has not read Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife http://www.amazon.com/Zero-Biography-Dangerous-Charles-Seife/dp/0140296476/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234134095&sr=1-1 you are depriving yourself of the fascinating history of a shockingly revolutionary idea.
