    Ah, but this isn't capitalism - this is regulations, bught and paid for, allowing avoidance of capitalism. Capitalism allows competition - we have given competition away (ok, ok - sold out cheap) in exchange of supposed expensive infrastructure.

    No, I mean affective - as in "tending to affect" (try learning to read a dictionary). Anyone who chooses to actively remain ignorant of the capabilities and limitations of computers and their influence on individuals and society ... ain't as smart as they like to believe.

    Yes, Sony is cutting their own throats. If their lack of effort at bringing as much capability to the PS3 as quickly as possible was any worse, then we'd probably see them working for the not-so-big 3 soon.
