Another week, another PS3 rumor fire quickly decimating rational thought on the internet. We should start billing Sony for putting these things out. This time, British computing tabloid, The Inquirer, is running a piece titled, "PS3 hardware slow and broken." It's full of the usual Inquirer stuff: bad spelling, horrible grammar, and (most importantly) specious arguments. So, before we even get to what they're claiming, understand that anything published on The Inquirer should be considered entertainment, much the way the Enquirer is. Here goes:
An Inquirer writer had the good fortune to sit next to Anonymous Guy on a recent flight to Japan who dished about the PS3's new Cell and RSX chips. "Oh my God, did you hear? Cell is like, totally broken and junk. It's MBs are all, like, messed up where the GBs should be ... and stuff." Alright, that's not a direct quote, but a decent approximation. It isn't worth going through and breaking down the arguments since a little common sense would go much further.
Alright, internet, I know we're all still upset about "The Price." I know sometimes Sony says funny stuff that we all laugh at. (Too cheap? You kill me Kutaragi!) There are some kinds of rumors we're willing to believe. Yields are low? Alright, that happens. One of the largest and most well respected chip developers in the world, whose new, custom-built, ground breaking chip architecture has a huge design flaw that we extrapolated from a slide and a single-serving airplane buddy? See, it just doesn't seem as plausible.
In regards to a system as unique -- and uniquely complex -- as the PS3, this level of "journalism" seems woefully inadequate to tackle what may or may not be actual design problems with the processor. Places to look, if you're so inclined: Sony's Cell page. Too biased? How about one of Ars Technica's famously exhaustive looks at the thing ... in two parts. The Ars guys are part processor, it appears, and they didn't manage to identify some singular shortcoming that will doom the PlayStation 3 as an also-ran.
So go ahead. Read it, enjoy it, but please don't take it as Truth. The console wars are already ugly enough without the rumors.

Notorious anti-videogames campaigner Jack Thompson has been claiming there's a link between games and violence once again after two teenagers were charged with the murder of a 55-year-old man in Louisiana....
According to 2theadvocate.com, the man was beaten to death before being shot in the face. Thompson claims that the teenagers said they killed the man because he refused to lend them his car - and Thompson believes "the same scenario [can be found in] Grand Theft Auto."
"Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you're a hitman or a videogamer," he went on, before adding that the "pummeling" of the victim is consistent with what you might see in a violent videogame.
Police have since searched the home of one of the suspects again, seizing several games with a Mature rating - at Thompson's suggestion, according to him. Detective Spence Dilworth said he's not convinced there's a link between the crime and the games, though, stating: "I think it goes beyond videogames, but who's to say?"
The question of whether games can cause players to become violent, Dilworth went on, may be "more of a debate for the living room rather than the courtroom."
Doug Lowenstein - president of the Entertainment Software Association - was keen to play down any suggestion of a link.
"The Entertainment Software Association expresses sincere sympathy to the family of the victim of this senseless crime. But efforts by discredited anti-videogame zealots to blame video games are cynical and misplaced,” he said.
"Violent crime involving kids predates videogames. Common sense tells us that video games do not create killers and that tragedies like this have to do with far more complex issues, from deep-seated psychological problems to a society in which violence and guns permeate the culture, from TV news to child and spousal abuse to war."by Published on June 5th, 2006 18:13
I love Theme Parks even though the robbin basts take the piss with what they charge but anyway heres a nice bit of news from CVG:
Frontier Software (the team behind RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 on PC) and LucasArts (the publisher that cancelled Sam & Max Freelance Police, boo) have announced a brand new console theme park sim, Thrillville.
As with its PC cousin, Thrillville promises to combine "elements of social interaction, party gaming and simulation like nothing before", as well as enabling gamers to "experience the joys of creating and playing within their very own theme park. At the same time, it offers the necessary depth to reward those who want to tweak and customize to their heart's content."
Thrillville features 150 unique attractions (including roller coasters, thrill rides, stalls, videogame arcades, hover-car soccer, trampolines and bumper cars) and 15 different environments (five parks with three themes each, it says here). The twist is that you'll be able to experience the park first hand, ramming friends on the dodgems, playing the mini-golf courses you lay out, taking on other players at first-person shooting games and so on - experience "at ground level what you've created as a playable character who can actively chat, joke and even flirt with every single park guest".
It sounds rather grand to us - but then we've been suckers for theme park games since Bullfrog's title all those moons ago. Thrillville is set to arrive on Xbox, PS2 and PSP this Christmas. And we've got one solitary screenshot to tide you over until then.

Somewhere, there's a dizzy parallel universe where there's no Radio One. No Capital Gold. No Magic FM. Where the soundtrack to everyday life throbs with manic day-glo doo-wop pop thrills and the words you hear have never been heard by mortal ears. It's a world where the smiling bubble offspring of Jeff Minter's perverted Corona dreams have to pass their fizzical by warbling joyous high pitched odes to MDMA and the wonders of surging serotonin. These amorphous blobs grin themselves to death for the love of plants. It's a happy, albeit brief existence.

If you were to come up with an all-time puzzle top ten, it's a sure bet that Bust A Move (a.k.a. Puzzle Bobble) would feature somewhere near the top. Like Tetris, and Bejeweled it's one of those absolute corkers that is so utterly perfect in its initial conception that it's become timeless. Trying to match three bubbles of the same colour by firing up the screen while they slowing descend, row by row, is one of those games we'll always have time for; they're just so moreish.
But much like anything timeless, tinkering with the formula only gets you so far. You might come up with numerous variations on a theme that sound good on paper, but after the short-lived novelty has worn off, you're back wanting the classic version you always loved.

The biggest beach or poolside risk before the iPod and other high cost electronics came along was a thief getting your beer or maybe nabbing your wallet. Unfortunately, the old hide-it-in-the-shoe method is not very effective, and with sand and sun involved, also not very practical in safeguarding delicate electronics. Enter the Yelpie - a bright yellow battery-operated electronic safe that shrieks when you tug on it.
So, what is Yelpie? It is a patented, high density plastic device that is battery powered, lightweight and portable. To operate you simply open up Yelpie, stash your gear, and arm it with a four digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Any attempt to move the device will result in a 90 decibel alarm sounding which will attract a lot of attention. Yelpie’s clever design means that an accidental bump will not set it off. It needs repeated movements over less than a second to go into alarm. Once in alarm, it can be silenced (and unlocked) by entering your PIN. If the movement stops, for example, after the thieves have dropped Yelpie, the alarm will shut down within 30 seconds. Once the alarm has ceased, Yelpie is once more watching out for your valuables.
The Yelpie also offers a weatherproof storage place to keep sand and rain out of your expensive electronic devices.
An extra feature of Yelpie is that the shoulder strap can be threaded through handbags and other items and pulled tight. It would then be almost impossible to get the bag off without setting of the alarm.. ...by Published on June 5th, 2006 16:31
