Howard Stringer looks into "refining" the cost of PS3
If you want someone to take machete in hand and slice through the vine-ridden jungle of PR spin and get to the heart of darkness (took about ten minutes to hack our own way to that dynamite metaphor), it would be Sony CEO Howard Stringer. He says that there is no question consumers want a price drop...

Well, not nothing, but nothing that's really "liek OMG gotta blog 'bout 'dis yo". Exclamation point. It would be really weird if actual punctuation didn't exist...
Howard Stringer says: "PS3 = creative success!"
I just thought of something random. In the quote above, there is an equal sign in quotations... but what does an equal sign sound like? It's not "equal sign" because that's the name of the symbol.
