Auto Guitar Hero Confirms Humanity's Worthlessness

We've seen various Guitar Hero mods to help interested parties artificially enhance their game, but the systems are imperfect and lack that 100% flawless automation that can confirm, yes, we're wasting away our lives by mastering properly timed button presses. But this Auto Guitar Hero mod subverts our work ethic with ease. Streaming the Wii's composite output directly into the guitar, software can detect precise timing on each button press, guaranteeing perfect accuracy every time. Oh, and you know there's gonna be video:

In the future, robotic slaves will play all of our video games for us. And it will be awesome.

Analyst: PS3 Dragging Sony Down

The PlayStation 3 analyst hate train just keeps on rollin' with research analyst Michael Comeau's latest piece for TheStreet.com. It's the typical fare, dogging Sony for their pricey inclusion of the PS3's Blu-ray drive and taking Sony to task for losing precious third-party exclusives (including the former time-exclusive Grand Theft Auto) like Guitar Hero and Virtua Fighter 5.

But Comeau's warning that Sony will lose market share combined with the fact that the PlayStation business has "provided more than 60% of Sony's operating profit despite hovering around 10% of overall Sony revenue" should give shareholders and Sony execs cause for concern.

I happen to love my PS3, but even my software attach rate is a meager 1:1. Michael McWhertor
