Life: almost the same crap, over and over, forever.
We merely like to convince ourselves how unique, how individualistic we are. Which is determined largely by our very imperfect memory (itself the subject of many myths) - while we are generally much closer to our peers than to ourselves at different life stages.
We even bring it to the level of "there are more people alive today than ever" myth... choosing to ignore at least 100 billion already dead homo sapiens sapiens. Naturally we'll get the same treatment - availability of data (which we will most likely leave in abundance) doesn't mean anybody cares about it (quick, without checking tell me the years and places of birth of your grandparents; and those are very related people, born a blink of an eye ago)... or that there's any need. In films, relatively few stories / archetypes is all that's necessary for "collective mind"
The funny part is through massive grade inflation and job requirement inflation, the average "uneducated" HS grad from 50 years ago was far better educated than the average modern college grad.
That's what people who are getting older have been telling themselves since... pretty much the beginning of recorded history. Considering how our civilization has progressed, it cannot not be rubbish.
(and for one example I'm very familiar with: one of my parents, an accountant (so with constant contact with some level of math), Baccalaureate / HS ending diploma level education from the 50s & 60s (plus some ~accounting obviously), was baffled with the math concepts at the end of my primary school in the 90s)
Well, not only 2) AMD doesn't produce nowadays, too (they do seem to act as distribution / marketing system, apart from R&D); also 3) "driving down costs and seeking to make it up through volume" could conceivably work nicely with, say, minimizing the variety of chips ("configuring" them instead, in a way, near final steps)... especially in times when we are getting more and more into the area of "good enough" with processing power, when AMD Fusion is very much about minimizing costs.
(but yeah, most likely just a stupid & baseless rumor)
Though it probably does "trickle down" into many areas (as you do seem to point out)... morality based on intentions, and on top of that on what one merely convinces oneself is good, is a shaky concept in general (just one post about it)
"Some"? It's pretty much the rule for our species - look at the plethora of belief systems (and countless more which didn't survive), for just one example; large group of cognitive biases, for another -...and one which was certainly quite adaptive. Most likely still is.
OTOH casually browsing through filtered Sourceforge categories was once nicely encompassing... now it seems much more scattered (yes, there's also freshmeat; this one always seems way too encompassing, and coupled with somewhat less useful filtering)
Labels, conversations, chats, drafts? (essentially - "how complete can it be"? Yeah, I still gotta check with some recent IMAP clients, for starters...)
Generally, a thing like this must not play well with pushing "Gmail for enterprise"; or how it's tied with Android.
Moses?... (it's kinda difficult to search / check the possibility it is actually about some product)

And yet Opera Mini is the #1 mobile browser worldwide by website hits (just look at Statcounter), despite most of its users being certainly rather frugal about data costs / number of sites visited. Most of them, judging by "state of the mobile web" from Opera, on S40 handsets.
(@battery... constant life with charges is a new thing for many people recently)
Since layoffs would be supposedly in supposedly underachieving / with poor return of R&D divisions in the first place... and in a few years (because this is the timescales you're getting into) things might change (regarding some stock bubbles, for example)
Oh, the drug war "works" fine - it's just that the real dynamics of social movements rarely turn out to be in line with stated ones / with what participants convince themselves in (likewise with *AA's - it's not about file-sharing (or commons; or, now, streaming), it's about the ascendancy of indies)

Stereoscopic, actually.

Umbrella didn't seem to be shut down in the most "popcultural" (most reflecting social mechanisms?) movie version...
He didn't have to be a Tsarist spy, for his "interactions" with Tsarist hierarchy in his early years (read about them) to largely create such monster.
Heck, the Catholic Church looks better and better with each passing... decade, in comparison (one example / area)

...to rid it of one of the AV companies completely. May Norton be next, Allah be praised.
Or...to make it better? (excluding further work on those annoying GPU-focused AV engines, of course)

Yet TFA can be not only seen as more about what is a sort of a "girl club"... also, sex segregation can actually be a workable approach, in some areas...

Not so much to just let go an unhealthy (funny, considering the place) habit, apparently...
"Am I self-aware?"

Oh, wait, answering questions does not demonstrate much...

The reason we're not laughing, is because we have a sense of humor.

the uniqueness and quality of those eyeballs ... clones of the same low quality, deceitful, quisling eye balls. Wont take long to thin them out.
Hm, when put that way... it doesn't seem to be in a league very different from average "valid" searches ;p (go through Google Zeitgeist)
