I work for a major video game developer and can unabashedly say that the "release" drivers you speak of will barely differ from the "early beta versions" that you mention.
If finalizing such software files was as complex as you say, game console makers -> game software developers -> hardware accessory device makers -> etc. all would never be able to coordinate a massive-scale release of one product, such as the Microsoft Xbox or Sony's Playstation.
So, keep this in mind: the benchmarks you see now will barely change from now until the "official" release.
If you want to know the nitty gritty details about the goings on behind the scenes of your typical American business, please don't be surprised if it's not some kindergarten style smile-'n-kiss-your-ass-routine.
Business is tough, tactful, and not for the weak of heart or stomach. But, there are some big gains to be made for those who can play the game.
I would rather invest in actual investments if I plan on collecting and making money off of intelligent purchases!
The value of something is only related to supply and demand. More supply causes less demand often times since the item is easier to get. More demand means less supply and in turn yields a higher price per item.
So, try collecting classic automobiles, baseball cards, or even Garbage Pail cards, but don't waste your time and energy on stockpiles of old Commodore 64s.
In ancient Rome, Christians were persecuted physically and politically. Today they are persecuted scientifically. But, as always, The Truth does not bend.
It's all about conservation of energy. The sun puts out 386 billion billion megawatts. Expressed in scientific notation, that 3.86e26 watts, which is 3.86e26 joules per second. According to Einstein's famous equations, that's also 1.29e20 kg/s. But the Earth is so small, we only intercept one one-billionth of that, which is 1.29e11 kg/s. The mass of the Earth is 5.89e24 kg. Divide the one into the other and you have a mere 1.5 million years, much much shorter than evolutionary "scientists" say it would take to spontaneously create simple DNA, let alone the profusion of God's creation that we see around us. And that's being generous and assuming there was no rock here to begin with (which we know is false from Genesis). My gut feeling is that the calculated figure of 40,000 years is probably right on target.

I wish everyone would just shut up about this damn movie. It's a movie, not some groundbreaking, life-changing new product.
Get over it already.
That's simply not true.

I guarantee it.
30 fps is all the eye can see, so anything above that is overkill.
Business is about making money.

Apple is applying for a patent to release "devices capable of dynamically changing their ornamental or decorative appearance.
So Christians will start hanging Apple computers around their douglas firs come December?
