sing 21 different sensors, Mac OS X constantly monitors component temperatures in each zone, dynamically adjusting individual fan speeds to the appropriate levels for the quietest possible operation.
Am I the only one that would rather have a dedicated controller to handle the fans as opposed to during it in software?
... Crichton's book Prey, which had a similar discussion of swarming optics. Then the little buggers all turned on the humans and death ensued. That could never happen, right?
You mentioned that the output HP on the engines varied depending on the country of sales -- that's the key. The engine could have been exactly the same, but the emissions equipment might not have been, software or otherwise.
Here's an example: my previous employer has a certain 15 litre engine that can be set to at least a range of 435 to 550 HP @ 2100 rpm using the same engine hardware and merely a software change. For the 435 HP version, one exhaust path (smoke stack) on the truck would be suffient to vent the pressure/heat generated at this setting. However, if that same truck and engine were later flashed to the 550 HP profile, the driver would likely never see the total expected increase in power and would also see increased oil temperatures under load.
Looking at the engine specifically does not give a proper picture of all that's going on in the camera/car simile.
Not the answer you were looking for, but Pixar's most recent 10-K has (gross) revenue for the most recent films. Way down in the page -- search for "revenue segment information by film category" -- you'll see a chart.
Also in the filing (under "Cost of Revenue") is the following:
ost of film revenue was $11.8 million in 2001, $41.0 million in 2002, and $38.0 million in 2003, and represents primarily amortization of capitalized film costs. Cost of film revenue as a percentage of film revenue for fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003 was 19%, 21% and 15%, respectively.
I don't think this includes corporate overhead, but it is closer to the mark.

I mean, there have been feeds for corporate info out there for a long time. Why is it now an 'all of a sudden' situation?
We've been subscribing to corporate feeds for some time.
With a title like High Performance MySQL, the reader should not expect assistance with tasks such as installation or the basics of SQL.
Nope. For that the reader might require something simple, like MySQL Basics for Visual Learners, a $2 download which I wrote.
