Yes AC a lot of good people will be testing. Lets hope its not the CPU, motherboards, OS or games. If this can be fix by one company- great.
Subtle errors all over the place would have hopefully been picked up by the OS people, Intel, Nvidia, game testers, hardware makers over time?
Guess we might need a next gen card buy up for 4k:)
China had huge issues in the 1940-70's massive starvation, huge political death toll, production issues and internal political issues with trying to get Communism to work just right.
The people that are left recall what happened to millions and millions and passed on that fear to their child.
The 1950~60's is not a distant memory for China.
A confession makes the system work and the person might just save their extended family from the same fate.
Yes, slowly security researches world wide will move up the device, apps, software, freeware, open source lists.
No longer will they trust any person saying its 'safe' based on their past work or having worked on a project for a few years++.
No longer will they trust any education institution saying its 'safe' based on academic work for a few years+.
No longer will they trust any company saying its 'safe' based on 'open source' work for a few years+.
A lot of skilled coders are now looking back at all hard work they have done and seen what 'weak' contributions by people have done to their reputation.
So they can have task look like it was done by some code sold to 'publicly' with a well hidden trail back to some other group.
The US gov gets what it needs and blame floats around as a press report for years.

Re Todays bad guys still have any money?
The drug cash has to fill a real bank at some point. The bad guys know some banks are safe and keep using them. That huge influx of real cash makes the bank seem very 'big' and doing really 'great'.
That attracts more investors and more drug cash. Everybody in that network is happy. Real savings up, fees up, share price up, ability to make huge loans based on huge influx of cash, even gov taxes.
With drug cash comes arms sales and support for 'good' freedom fighters. Small wars and interventions in civil wars need weapons, global heavy lift transport, perfect id papers, bribes, local cash and payments that cannot be tracked back. Drug cash provide a nice 'international' block to any reporter or low gov agent from getting to near the truth.
The clandestine war efforts are totally funded, banks are doing well, stock prices are up, the bad countries are locked into huge loans they can never ever repay.
In the past you could have written citation needed and gotten a nice mod point bounce.
The domestic intelligence aspect is making many in the US legal/tech press and profession produce a lot of new and insightful news.
Yes, other parts of the world have lower domestic protections than US law. You do anything in their part of the world and the gov gets a look and its all very, very legal.
Re: "The NSA has a glorified RSS reader called PRISM for collecting lawfully obtained data from multiple REST sources."
"not much to worry about"
"make the Snowden documents out to be more than they are"
So we are back to "it legal in a domestic setting" and "nothing to see here"
The aspect that is legal is the foreign part. For the "lawfully obtained" domestic part you still need a US warrant.
If the "illegal activity" or 'bad activity" is been found that would point to it be authorized and we are back to needing a real US warrant again.....
Rework some of the "Glorious Leader" texts?
The great school is an outstanding educational and sporting centre, brilliant teachers who teach the capitalist system along the golden road to full employment.
So we destroy secularism in Syria and replace it with a one faith 'democratic' government under black flags?
Do you think the US really wants to fall for another "suppose it turned out" flowers and sweets dream in the region?
WW1 built up a great skill set. The 1920-30's was more a race for limited funding, just trying to keep unique skills and people in place.
Post WW2 saw the huge changes as the USA learned all it could from the UK and Germany.
The methods and the people who developed them changed from US experts to a wider mix of people.
So now we are back to nice sounding "many rebel factions" and "vast majority" been not so bad?
Have you been following the regional and international funding for the 'freedom fighters' in Syria Cold? Have you been following the regional weapons shipments for the 'freedom fighters' in Syria?
Have you been following the democratic acts the 'freedom fighters' in Syria commit when they take an area over?
Have you been following the networks offering the skilled 'freedom fighters' for use in Syria?
ie under the black flags most in any normal mil and gov would not want anything to do with.
ie no more secularism in Syria.
Cold re "They have destabilized multiple countries" so has the CIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_United_States_foreign_regime_change_actions
Every country in the region has a database of useful 'freedom fighters' to ship around as needed. The only implications are its little regional wars as usual and the same teams keep showing up year after year after year.
al Qaida and the Taliban fighting in Syria constitute a minor percentage of the rebel forces.....
The US backed 'freedom fighters" are a huge mix Gulf backed groups trying to make Syria safe for their vision of the region.
No matter the "percentage" why is the USA backing any group supporting the aims of "rebel forces"?
Yes AC, WW2 offered another bounce, so did the cold war exports and build ups, small wars.
Every year the rest of the world is catching up, getting cheaper, more skilled.
The room would ensure visiting political and ranking staff from the mil/gov got a better impression of the NSA than existed before the 1990's.
If you where fighting money laundering or drugs or tracking weapons sales or tracking military tests - the NSA could help you visualise victory during your meetings.
Great for more funding and ongoing cooperation.
The NSA never wanted to continue on its 1990's budget and just get 'requests' or have an ongoing mission wrt codes.

If any parent makes a fuss about Constitutional rights they are showing signs of PTSD. Welcome to the medical no buy list.
If the state or federal gov has cash funding ready to go, better request it or the local staff will lose their grant application writing skills.
