I am looking forward to multi-core systems. I have an athlon 64 dual core 3800 using windows for my main ebay computer and it can pretty much handle anything i throw at it. It will be interesting to see how the motherboards of the future look and how the memory is allocated since I would assume all of these cores sharing the same memory has to have more of a performance penalty. Adobe premiere recognizes the dual core during startup but I don't know of many programs that use both cores..i guess it just splits the load between them.
I would assume multi-cored processors will sharply scale up in price due to the lower yield rate from effectively making two-four-eight processors at once on a single die.
Just imagine if this was hacked to display text two letters at a time. With rhythmic motions of the wrist it could output pornographic text. This would me a stellar stocking stuffer.
Gosh someone accessing their trackers for pirated movies and software WITHOUT their permission. I guess circumventing the adwords on their registration pages is a big no-no. Oh the horror...
Well I guess John Titor was a bit off when he predicted we would harness the power of a singularity. Instead of time travel we get a crappy pre-pre alpha research OS..while he came back bending lasers and building time machine devices resembling a toolbox. I guess this is how our universe differed from his.
Well it is nice to see that they finally seperated the print head from the cartridge. I used to be an in store sales rep for Canon and I always argued with the HP rep about who had the superior printer and the beneifts of the semi-permanent printhead vs. the printhead that stayed on the cartridge. to sell the Canon printer to the slackjawed yokels from kentucky all I had to do was show them a few print samples and show them the cost of ink. If they talked to the HP rep first they would sometimes ask about the printhead being replaced with each cartridge vs. the HP system. I would simply pop the printhead out of the Canon turn it over and compare it to the print head on an old HP cartridge I had saved when they had to change the ink in one of the store models. The canon print head is much larger and looks of way better quality compared to the nasty copper colored tiny print heads that are on each cartridge with the HP.
HP will be able to make a cheaper printer because they do use some sort of software/blue light combo inside the printer that aligns the cartridge/print head. Canon's needed to be manually aligned, but only once for the life of the printer. They may retain this feature because it also senses which paper is in the printer and most HP fans are used to this:)
For the record I use Canon although the employee discount certainly helped.
Perhaps you should stop worrying about how much he is making off of his online journal and instead put that time into a competitive "online journal" that will net you $1200 a month!! Go for 20 accepted submissions and sit back and watch the cash come in by the truckloads...

I want to cast magic missle!
