It's not that Macs have a stigma of being piss-poor gaming machines, it's that Apple is so obsessed with thin computers, even the desktop models, that they simply can't use half-decent GPUs. If you put aside things like OS X and hardware features which are irrelevant to gaming, the cost of a desktop Mac is much higher than a desktop Windows or Linux PC.
I'd like to see a bigger, super-widescreen version of this thing. Even with only 64 colours, with the same DPI it would be nice for dynamic arcade cabinet marquees.
Hell, make them ultra-big and give us the ability to free-form cut three sides and the length of the side with the controller and we could have full-side artwork cut to the profile of the cabinet, too.
What I wonder is, how much would it cost at those sizes.
What if we put the 3D printers and the CNCs on a cloud? The puffiness of the cloud would absorb the shocks and allow the hardware to - what do you mean, it's not that kind of cloud?
What I would really like to see if the same colour e-paper available as an SPI-driven module for the maker community (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc).
After watching the Pebble Time video on Kickstarter, I'm wondering why we haven't heard of any advances on colour e-paper in such a long time. The previous colour e-paper displays had weak, almost pastel-like, washed-out colours and had a slow refresh but this new display seems to have amazingly rich colours and a really fast refresh speed.

Alright... 1997-era graphics.
Don't you mean 20.00739068902038 years?

But even then, it would make more sense to partner up with FedEx, UPS and others to have the manufacturing hardware at the hubs.

Bender: "I don't need to drink. I can quit anytime I want!" (burp!)

A friend of mine once got killed by a truck. He got better after a while, but still. I demand that FedEx stops using trucks at once!
That's never going to happen because we use the metric system.
Don't you mean "not just two separates dies built into an MCM package"?
Indeed. I stand corrected. Many apologies to Buddhists.
I guess the Klingon way of raising kids is the good one after all.
You think believing in a magical omnipotent being living in the sky denotes a sign of intelligence?
There is no cow level.
There is no spoon.
The cake is a lie.
No way is debit card taking 45 seconds or more. In a Canadian grocery store the average is around 15 seconds.
The MegaDrive is the same console as the Genesis.
Obligatory Futurama reference.
This is as painful to read as SMS-speak in english.
SEGA had the Sega Genesis, CD, 32X, Saturn and Dreamcast in the same period of time that Nintendo had the SNES and the N64.
Fanboy all you like, people aren't made of money.
Won't somebody think of the chil... oh wait.

I download MP3 albums and re-encode them into the more modern AAC CODEC to increase the quality and then re-seed the album again!
