...question is whether the PS3 is the herald of Stringer's revitalized company, or a techno-turkey. The machine is off to a rocky start. Sony plans to ship just 2 million units this year, about half its initial projections. Customers queuing to buy one braved a shooting incident outside a store in Connecticut last week.

Raging is a far more extroverted action:rowdy rather than racy, overdone rather than underground. It entails whooping instead of whispering and will almost always feature Heineken over a hallucinogen. An improvement, some could say. A collegiate prerogative...
