PS3 Performance Downgraded Again
Heartless Gamer writes "The PS3's performance has been downgraded again, according to the Inquirer." From the article: "We can't tell you why the GPU lost nearly 10% of it's clock, it could be an NVidia screwup, or it could be Sony/Cell. Either way, it just became much less of an overwhelming value, but you get a DRM infected drive for 'free' either way." Interesting, but keep in mind this is The Inquirer. 9 out of 10 doctors recommend salt with their articles. Relatedly, the choice comments from Penny Arcade this past weekend about Sony's console are wandering around the internets today. From that article: "We've already talked about it, there's no chance we're buying a PS3 at launch."
Yeah, yeah, offtopic, I know.
Why would anybody buy GM? Seems to me from this side of the Atlantic that that company's lucky to still be in business at all, and is pissing away money at a phenomenal rate due to a killer combination of huge operational costs, shit products, and consumer tastes shifting-away from the stone-age pick-up trucks and over to the sort of small, economical cars they've been failing to make any profit out of in Europe for I don't know how long.
The only reason I could see for buying GM would be if they get bought out by Renault/Nissan, as was the talk not long ago.
