    The technocrats over at ars technica put their joysticks down for a bit to do some driving.

    You can read all about it here.

    Why is that awesome? Because they know what makes a good photo.

    It's a really interesting comparison on racing in real life versus racing in simulators like Forza or GT5.

    You know, you used to be able to say video games were cheaper, but now that your PS3 has the credit card giveaway mod, I'm not so sure anymore. (Just kidding, Sony.)

    I'm bummed, affected, and shouldn't be as surprised as I am, given that Sony's primary stance on security breaches is "only we get to do that".

    At first I was just bummed that being able to use Netflix was impacted.

    But I digress... Congrats on the prime photo location!

    Netflix still works fine for me. Just ignore the errors and keep going.

    Nice! A great magazine article would be describing some exercises you could do on a simulator to improve your real racing - passing, late braking, late apexing, analyzing a track to see which sectors will gain you the most time if you really nail them.
