You can blame the growth of the world population for that. Got to spread the wealth around more.

  Biofuel is made from unusable left-overs of an organic product. Let us look at ethanol, the current largest source of which is sugarcane. After the sugarcane is pressed and the juice obtained for further processing, one is left with essentially a flat piece of plant matter. The waste product is then left to ferment, after which it is processed again where the naturally occuring alcohol is removed, the waste matter is dried, and then used as combustible fuel for the distillation process. The end …

  Me, guy A, gets paid $8.50 an hour to make a car part. The guy(B) whose only job is to put said part in the car gets paid twice what I do. The fucker who transports the car (guy C) to be sold makes twice what guy B does. The guy who actually sells the car, guy D, gets paid twice what guy C does. And the fucker sitting at the top of all these cars makes more in one day than guy A, B, C, and D’s annual wages, yet has zero to do with the creation of finished products. Without guy A, guys BCD and …

  Well … there were a few more steps than that (I work in macroeconomics). The U.S. Congress enacted legislation on the premise that home ownership was an unalloyed good (obviously not enough Star Trek fans: “too much of anything, Uhura … isn’t necessarily a good thing”), and the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate. There was suddenly a lot of money sloshing around the market, and U.S. government paper didn’t offer good returns. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) *seemed* to be a good …

  The wall street crash (if you want to call it that) wasn’t from capitalism. It was from government compulsion to lend to sub-prime borrowers. When you give money to people who can’t pay it back you loose that investment and create a bubble. If companies are cutting to many corners; it’s to keep up with the IRS’s stupid tax burdens and pay to conform to the pointless bureaucracies and federal regulations imposed by the U.S. government. It’s not capitalism. It’s crony capitalism.

  It doesn’t really matter if the game looks like crap, so long as it plays well and has a good story, something which i feel sqenix has missed since FFX, the only thing the had going for them was the looks

  Creating “HD games” should be the least of their concerns, how about making games where the protagonist isn’t a whiny metrosexual boyband character? (Don’t tell me “Lightning”, that’s beside the point.) I don’t understand the look of the characters in the series since FF10, it seems like at FF7 they lost the whole serious-artsy look and went to a more anime-esque look; which was fine. Then it seemed from there that they tried to merge the anime style with a realistic style, creating a series …

  And it wasn’t too long ago that Sony was the evil empire with thier CD rootkits and whatnot. Fanboyism and brand loyalty is for suckers. Everything can change on a dime. That said, I’ll wait until the hardware reviews are out, but I’ll probably get a PS4. But good on Microsoft for listening to the backlash.

  Shitty misleading headline and this guy is right about the PS4. This isn’t like going from 16-bit to 32-bit. The changes lessen every generation and difference between PS3 and PS4 is extremely minimal by comparison. Not worth the extra costs at all especially in Japan where graphics are never the biggest selling point.
