Since when is this a dirty marketing trick? I believe that this is the right way to go since the mHz myth really only benefits Intel at this point. Maybe Apple should also follow suit? Maybe both of the companies can convince consumers that mHz is not the true benchmark of a machine's speed....
Who says it's not broke? Large ISP/busineses? These institutions find it easy to get a large address block of IP's, but when I call my ISP to get just a few, they chage me an additional $20 a month (for 5 usable IP's)!!!! Maybe if there were more available, the smaller ISP would be willing to dole them out without charging extra, wich would then force the larger ISP's to do the same. More IP's would make them much less like a commodity and make them easier to get a hold of. I would really like to not have to NAT at home.....
