Apparently they were bulky, and few people could read Binary. Nice job.

Ya'll know, I think everybody was right during the format wars... people don't use PS3s to play games on, or watch Blu-rays on... they use them as Supercomputers!

I hear the Jasper version is less efficient at heating the coffee, though.

True. Now, the heat sinks they've been using should actually keep it from burning up. I think they have just started spotting Jasper models in the wild last week or so. It has less power draw than the current PS3s (65nm Cell and RSX) by a few watts.

65nm Cell and RSX = 95W to 115W
65nm Xenon and Xenos plus 80nm eDRAM = 94W to 106W

That made me smile.

I actually used a bunch of PS3's to travel back in time and sabotage the Xbox 360, so they would all overheat and cause the rings of death.

Looking back on it now it seems childish....
