Is it possible that AMD might buy ATI to get them "out of the way" of nVidia? Then any technology that ATI has could be shared with nVidia, making them the largest major video card and chipset manufacturer for AMD processors, and discouraging any association that ATI might have with Intel. This could be an incredibly smart move.
From a corporate LAN perspective, this type of Portable OpenOffice setup seems to me to be a very nice way to go. Here's the scenario I have in my head:
1. Put the binaries for the Office apps/suite on a share point on whatever file server 2. Configure each user's profile to reside in their user directory 3. Umm... profit?
This way, any updates to the app would simply require kicking any obstinate users (who don't ever listen to me and always just leave their 16 unsaved Word docs and 12 unsaved Excel spreadsheets open and complain when I have to change their friggin password and log them out when I know I've emailed EVERYBODY on our %&*$&%&#$ network and TOLD them to log out at the end of the day and... umm, whoops...) out of the app and replacing the binaries with new ones. The most difficult part might be file associations for end users, but that could be fixed with a registry patch deployed via login script, or Active Directory, or whatever. This could probably be done now with OpenOffice. If I didn't work at a university with a site license for MS Office, I probably would go that route.
...has an awesome line of tech friendly workspaces. Some of them have self-contained air circulation and they can rotate on a preprogrammed schedule to follow the sunlight, multi-monitor support, lighting, pneumatically adjustable seating with presets for multiple users, etc., etc., etc.

I've played through a Cyber-Twin in a store using a new Telecaster, and the sounds are pretty amazing. You're right, the amp actually contains tube, solid-state, and digital components and reconfigures itself to physically duplicate the sounds of the original amp. It's really cool to watch, too. When you switch to another preset the motorized knobs turn themselves to the appropriate settings to fine-tune the sound. An expensive amp, but pretty sweet!

Or at least tell them they could just use Paint and save themselves some time and effort...
Is it just me, or does the headline sound like the title of a bad Anime?
