GP's concerns probably apply more to games and power-hungry software like Photoshop than to your average productivity app. Heck, MMX and SSE only really speed up apps that do image manipulation and/or number crunching.
It seems to be somewhat of a JAXA convention to have a Japanese nickname and an English official name. If you take a look at their lunar probe project, it is referred to as KAGUYA(SELENE).
The results:
"First post!"
"Step 1: Teach neural network to farm gold. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!"
"In Soviet Russia, you predict the actions of neural networks!"
"I for one welcome our neural network overlords"
"But does it run Linux?"
"Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!"
Do you even know how the Soap pointing device works? Hint: you don't wave it around in mid air. It's essentially the guts of an optical mouse put into a smooth, clear container and stuck into a sock. The optical sensor tracks the grain of the enclosing sock, and you manipulate it by squeezing the sock gently, causing the "mouse" inside to rotate - much as if you were squeezing a bar of soap (hence the name)
Unlike a lot of stuff coming out of Microsoft, I regard this little invention to be actually rather creative and worthwhile. If anything, it will definitely be a boon to people who need to use a pointing device during presentations (much better than the trackball solution we have today)
Glowcode is a memory allocation watchdog and code profiler rolled into one. IMO, it has the best implemented features of its class, and is speedy and lightweight to boot. On top of that, it's useful for checking run-time memory leakage that may be masked by the deallocations that happen at the end of your program. I use it to find those odd leaks that only happen when you do a specific action, for example. A very useful tool.
Am I the only one thinking:
Step 1: Openly deride Second Life a pyramid scheme.
Step 2: Wait for the Linden Dollar to exchange rate to fall due to people dumping their L$.
Step 3: Buy large amounts of L$.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!!

How to profit as a phisher -
1. Think
2. Act
3. ???
4. Profit!

...It weighs 7.3 tonnes (in air)... I'm sure you mean that its mass is 7.3 tonnes...Am I the only one thinking: Step 1: Openly deride Second Life a pyramid scheme.

This is patently false, as a quick search on amazon.co.jp will show you...
