Tech guys to marketing guys: "most people don't have the latest hardware. If your ads require too much power then they will look like crap and people won't buy your stuff."
All you have to do is tell people in marketing that a lot of people do use the GMA chipsets (all early entry-level intel Macs), netbooks, cheap laptops, cheap desktops, etc.
The iPhone and iPod touch is also getting stronger every day, though I wouldn't be surprised if the 3D chipset in those isn't more powerful than an intel GMA, relative to the screen size of the iPhone/iPod touch.
Breaking news: botnets use plain text messages and waste bytes and bytes of bandwidth instead of using binary to communicate between themselves. News at 9:00.
we at Google hear your plea about world over-population. This is why we are proud today to tell you about our upcoming product. It will not only help control the world's population but will also push the need for large-scale construction projects.
Google goes for the lowest watt per processing, the actual hardware cost is probably negligible compared to the cost of years of electricity for powering the systems and cooling the surroundings.
It's already happening, the same way it went with GM, Ford and Chrysler vs Honda, Toyota, Nissan.
You have to be pro-active with these things. If you're only reactive then it's already too late and the curve just to catch up to your competition is even harder, makes it look even more impossible, making you give up more easily.
Google: Google will host the digital (out-of-print) books online, and retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble or your local bookstore will be able to sell access to users on any Internet-connected device they choose. Microsoft: Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you.

Not to mention that Flash under anything else than IE + Windows runs like a slug.

Simple enough.

It is? That's good to know!

Good thing that wav is a Microsoft file format and hence cannot be played under Linux. /sarcasm
Indeed. I'm moving to the intarweb right now.
And C2 can refer to a truckload of things, so that doesn't really help.
In any case it was 4.99$CAD for me, I'm assuming it's 4.99$USD for Americans.
Then you might want to check out the new iPod nano.
Actually it's only 4.99$ for the 3.1 upgdade.
At least that's what it cost me to go from 2.x to 3.1.
Actually if there ever was a time for a "+5, Sad truth", that was it.
Dear Anonymous Coward,

Coming Soon from Google: Goozilla!
Isn't it extremely dangerous? It could escape the power plant by pretending to be a cop and then go on a killing rampage.
So... we wait another 6 months or so? /duck
I'd even say it's always been a little slanted, period.
Hint to humorless mods: it's about the website name.

You wouldn't happen to have a Final Fantasy XI account by any chance?
If you do, have you tried nVidia 3D Vision with it?
No, they can't mess with their experiment that much.
Here's your pic.

I really messed up with the names, and I apologize.

Does this thing come with its own small nuclear power plant and liquid nitrogen cooling system?
Oups, should have been AMD instead of nVidia.
