@soiralknarf: Consoles are closed platforms, PCs are open platforms.

@lucasway89: Depends on which model you buy, but considering that a console's architecture ends up being more efficient because the programming is more low level, they don't exactly need a super high end one at all. They could get away with 50-100 on the chip and perform like a PC GPU that costs twice that.

@Bubbleman! Kotaku's #1 most-hated (apparently): The jump for the Wii is huge (never doubted that), but compared to the 360's chip, it's not that big at all. On top of that the type and amount memory will play a huge role. Are they going to bottleneck it like the other two consoles did?

@Maximus Decimus Meridius: Same here, see name.

@Platypus Man: I would say that the average litre per 100 km usage is higher here than in Europe, but in Europe people are more motivated to buy the low usage cars because of the petrol prices so more of them are made and sold.

@JohnnyLongarms: I've seen the plastic cases here in Canada.

AMD R700? Really? That's like two generations ago. R900 (Northern Islands) is what AMD is sitting on right now. Couldn't even muster R800 (Evergreen)? These are 55nm chips. By modified I hope they mean squeezed it down to 40nm at least. We're looking at 28nm come Christmas.

@lycosman: I think XBL has experienced more down time than PSN. PSN seems to be winning in consecutive downtime though.

@Sheldon Calvin: Erm... Capcom?

@Black Knight Rebel: Looks like a guy.

@tetracycloide: That in itself is actually a fetish.

@Hisilarn: God damn it, now I have to clean up this mess.

@JetSet67: Did you know IGN is short for ignorant?

@Petey 2 Kold: It's ironic, thus it is hipster, thus Kotaku is run by hipsters, thus the new layout.

It's a combination of enjoying the work you do, being challenged by the work and enjoying the work environment.

@AgentSmithAndWesson:

I've only had good experiences with airlines. It might be because Europe has had these sort of regulations for longer or because the airlines are nicer, but whenever something bad happens, I've been compensated. Sometimes it wasn't enough and I complained and got more. Seven hour delay and I get a voucher for a drink?

@PearsonFlyer: Are you a pilot or steward/ess?

@Java-Princess: It's just the common misconception of socialism = communism = dictatorship. Meanwhile capitalist society is a dictatorship ruled by a few really big corporations.

I don't actually cheat as it takes out the fun of a game, at least for me it does.
