"Immeasurable impact on issues surrounding technology". Not "inventions".
As a "good guy", Google's contribution to any part of many peoples lifestyles with regard to the technology used is indisputable. (Google search > competition, Android market share > competition, Chrome performance and stability > competition, NaCL, Play store, etc etc. They're not perfect, but they are certainly usable and viable, and often better, alternatives to their competitors.)
As a "bad guy", Google's stereotypical credo of "do no evil", after they've gained such weight in the technology world, is coming into question (most recently? see CISPA).
Together, these certainly form a kind of impact, and given Google's ubiquity in a lot of peoples' lives, an immeasurable one.
So the word "cloud" appears 11 times in the article, and in each case, is used in a context in which it comes off as a buzz-word or in an SEO-optimized fashion.
What I'd like to know is, how does it fit into the "cloud" paradigm?
Does it somehow better handle streamed texture and shader content, thus making my "cloud gaming experience" feel more fluid?
Is the chipset designed to integrate with next-gen tablets and smartphones, which would typically be "cloud gaming experience"-devices?
Will it better handle next-gen games typically offered as a "cloud gaming experience" (think recent SimCity and worse)? OR...
Is it simply being released at a time where "cloud gaming experience" is a convenient marketing buzzword, intended to generate sales among the unwashed masses?
Interestingly, the only difference between a (now defunct? Not sure, I'm in Canada) Netflix mail-order DVD, a DVD borrowed from the library, a DVD you rent at a movie store, and a DVD you purchase from a video store, is how long you get to keep the disc in your home.:-)
I went through hell and back trying out a smaller ISP (Acanac); the disjoint between them and Ma Bell caused a 3-week delay between when I paid for service and when a telephone technician came to my house and properly wired the phone lines for DSL service. (There were 2 other visits, both of which resulted in no-service.) And forget about calling someone on the phone; sitting on hold for two hours only to be disconnected at the end isn't my idea of good service.
Going with a smaller ISP always bears the risk of dealing with the ineptitude of technicians who don't give a rat's ass about getting your service up and running (i.e. "that's not my department"). When I gave up on Acanac and made the call to Rogers, I had service up and running in two days.
I don't like Rogers' caps and expensive prices, but when there's a negligible delay between when I make a phone call and my service is up and running, the attraction of "trying out" smaller ISPs in the hopes of finding one which doesn't cause hair loss and premature graying wanes quickly in favor of being able to actually use a service.
How many children do you know bear a racial hatred for Western culture that is bred and drilled into them, or are armed with nuclear warheads?
It's exactly that arrogance that they are standing up against, however misplaced their aggressions are.
There's no easy solution here; disarming them is impossible, making peace with them is impossible, talking sense into them is impossible, treading lightly and carrying a big stick seems to be the only safe alternative that doesn't cause us to descend into full military operation against them.

Of course. The internet (not unlike everything else) tastes like chicken.
You're right. But the article isn't about the Creationist Museum...

Where does this scripted brainfart come from anyways?
You must mean jury-rigged, or jerry-built. Pick one!
It's the most famous of the classic blunders, you insensitive clod.
Just wait until Google Neural Interface is on the market. We don't need no steenking glasses!
No there won't.

"Porn" obviously has more weight to garner clicks, so let's resort to sensationalizing the headline in order to make a buck.
Now's a good time to rewatch Threads, and lament the possibility that these asshats might have nukes, and might somehow be insane enough to use them.

Oh, if only I had mountains of disposable income...

Since I made the post at 8:58am today. Obviously.
