In a technical document about the Playstation 3's specifications I discovered that the console supposedly will "push so many polygons per second that it will place users at risk of losing their immortal souls to endless torment in the abyss". What this means exactly I can't be sure, but I think it's safe to say that the PS3 is going to be one powerhouse of the 3D computing. Also featured in this same technical document are references to the new distributed processing technique being developed jointly by Sony and IBM. One technician describes the process as "sort of like when you do a group project in college, where the two stoners just sit in the back and laugh about Gumby, the dumb kid stares intently at his syllabus, and the smart and industrious kid does the entire project and lets everyone sign their name to it."
