Sony Still Loses Money on Every PS3 They Sell
According to the latest figures from Sony, the company still loses money on every PS3 sold thanks to that recent $100 price drop. The flipside of the price cut is that PS3 sales are actually up by 44%. Sony posted its first quarterly profit in a year thanks to its decision to close 18% of its plants and eliminate 20,000 jobs.
Educated guesser of component prices iSuppli had deduced that Sony was finally eking out a little bit of profit on every PS3 Slim they sold, thanks to lower costs, but apparently, not the case!

6 Songs Used to Torture & Intimidate
Playing an annoying song over and over to get someone to spill their guts might sound like a gag from a Mel Brooks movie, but it’s actually become a standard practice.
An article by an NYU musicologist in the Journal of the Society for American Music details how music was regularly used in interrogations on bases in Iraq and Afghanistan as a method of inducing disorientation to get suspects to talk without inflicting physical force. Here are some of the songs used by military and law enforcement entities to get their suspects to sing.
1. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”
2. Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty”
3. Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walking”
4. AC/DC’s “Shoot to Thrill” and “Hells Bells”
