PPC was better at first - but over time, x86 processors were getting better (speed, power usage, etc)...faster than PPC was, and now x86 has the best processors, a trend likely to continue. There's a reason they chose PPC back then, and there's a reason they're switching to x86 now. Regardless, I personally could really care less what processor they use so long as the final product does what I want it to.
The new mouse is hardly perfection (I seriously doubt the 'perfect' input device would be any sort of mouse). But to the users that want a mouse (from Apple specifically, for whatever reason) with more functionality than a single button, it is quite a bit better. The people that are praising this thing now are the people that have been begging for Apple to make something more than a one button mouse for awhile now...I would recommend people cut back on the praise until they've actually tried it though.
I see two problems with what you've said. First, there are gamers with sufficient knowledge to do this - in fact, a fair portion of gamers are rather knowledgable about computers (many of them are the 'techy friend' to other people). And second, there are plenty of other places such a router could be very useful - games aren't the only thing that benefit from low latency...
That particular scene wasn't intended to be accessed. It exists because they didn't take the time to actually go through and remove it, but instead made it normally inaccessible.
Do you think they should let the game's rating change from 'M' to 'AO' simply because of a scene that for all practical purposes wasn't even in the released game?

With the current shortage of it, prices should go up. Economics 101...pff
