Can we see some benchmarks (XBench please, that is what the author of the article ran) on the iBooks we are comparing this machine to? I ran XBench just now on my Rev B. Ti (667G4, 512PC133,4200RPM), and scored 55.6, which is in the neighborhood of his old Cube. I understand that you might be turned off by the lack of 'extra' amenities like DVI, but come on! The performance increase over my powerbook is 50%! not too shabby, and considering that the processor is not 50% faster, I would say that the machine has been nicely improved across the board.
Its funny you mention social structures and darwinian evolution. They go together nicely. I am part of research team at the University of Maryland (sorry, no public website) that is currently working on the emergence of social heirarchies, like centralized control (fascism) in multi-agent systems. And guess what we are using to direct the emergence? Genetic Programming.

Haven't goats been eating crap like that for years? We should just set the goats loose on the landfills.
