Interesting. I wonder what the equivalent of that on the PS3 is... on the PS3 I have "PS3 Media Server" application running on my server, and it feeds media to my PS3. Great when you have a file that PS3 can't natively real... the PS3MS will transcode it on the fly.

As long as the PS4 has the same functionality, I will buy one in about 18 months when the price drops by $50.

Oh snap. Who built them... Foxconn, perhaps? Think Microsoft sabotaged manufacturing? A few $100 bribes would buy a lot of quality control managers over there.

Ouch.

Microsoft execs have to reading those and furiously masturbating.

I like to think peeps know the difference between Microsoft saying XBOX ONE WILL BE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL LIKE IT AND ALSO FUCK YOUR MOTHER and Sony having some trouble with their manufacturer's quality control.

Well, that would be one way to get attention to poor working conditions.

I'd say it's more likely the disgruntled workers slacked on the assembly line as opposed to a competitor investing in corporate espionage. Occam's Razor.

Maybe getting your shit made in third world countries isn't worth it?

Hey, you only have to pay them slightly above the normal shitty wage. Good to know executive greed is universal.

Apple loves their Foxconn slave labor, for example.

That's pretty much standard for Tycho, yes. He paints pretty pictures with words, but they are often fairy structures devoid of any heft.
