Well I would prefer open-standards based web experience. Unfortunately Flash has settled among the web as a rich-content media platform used for a lot more than video streaming. If video streaming was the only thing Flash does then it would be rather easy to replace it. Furthermore often Flash performs a lot better than HTML5 in terms of speed. To give you an idea about its performance compared to HTML5 on Nexus One including HTML5 performance on iPhone 3GS, I suggest u watch this: http://vimeo.com/10553088 .
Basically for all those reasons you do want to have Flash on any device which is to present rich media content.
The iPad and the Android tablets are in the works for some time now. I have always considered the idea of a phone OS on a tablet as an iffy thing due to the functionality constraints of those OSes. But if this device succeeds on the market with its amazingly limited functionality, then I think the upcoming Snapdragon-based tablets running Android would surpass it. Android is getting Flash very soon and it already has multitasking. What do you think?
Basically this is similar to many other units with N and USB but it differs in one aspect. CPU speed. The CPU of this "router" runs at 480MHz which is twice than virtually anything else on the market with very few exceptions. Anyone that have used a "router" for more than a router e.g. NAS, PBX, SVN and many other useful things has noticed the shortcoming of the slow BCM470x CPUs. The slowness is especially evident in any encryption based task such as SSH, SFTP, Bittorrent (when ran only over encrypted peers). The slowness is also evident in any network file transfer or USB (local) file transfer. For example I run Debian Lenny on ASUS WL500gP which works great but file transfers over SMB peak at 3.7MB/s only, SFTP peaks at 1.2MB/s.
For these reasons WNR3500L will be a bless. This CPU will solve most of those problems and while we will probably not see Gb speeds for file transfers they should reach at least ~100Mb sustained speed. It will also help all encryption tasks.
That was my point. Apart from the splash damage it can cause to networks, it can make a few more users unconcerned with business requirements to look for an alternative to their insecure, flawed software.
Maybe it's not the most moral thing to think, but I love Malware. And this one is just great.
I love Conficker. I Love it because awakens some about the flaws of the software they use. Go Downadup, Go!

A bit outdated. Here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=unigine_20_performance&num=2 .
Uhm, you have a point but the radeonhd driver is advancing very quickly. OpenGL 2.0 support on HD3xxx, HD4xxx series is complete I believe. :)
Sadly I think the PCIe power specification limits any PCIe device to 300W. You can be sure that dual-PCB is a no-no. Can't spend 5 times that :/ .
You mean 1 benchmark and it is the same one at which HD5870 is about 5-10% slower than GTX480?
What do you know, heaters for PCIe come with moderately fast GPUs onboard these days!
Well that is exactly what the post before yours meant.
What is Windows 7?
And facts supporting that are?
How did this get down to an iPod thread?
