As someone who does heavy duty scientific computing, I wouldn't say that "most" of the actual process power is in GPUs. They are certainly more powerful at certain tasks, but most applications run are legacy code, and most algorithms require substantial reworking to get them to run with reasonable performance on a GPU. Simply put, GPU for supercomputing is not quite a mature technology yet. I am personally not too interested in coding for GPUs simply because the code is not portable enough yet, and by the time the technology might be mature, there might be a new wave of technology (like ARM) that could be easier to work with.

Why is there so much hate for netbooks? I've got a 10 inch eeePC from 3 years ago and I absolutely love it. I use it almost everyday and it still has great battery life of 3-4 hours down from 7-8 originally. Plus having a nearly full size keyboard makes doing actual work possible.

Here is the link to the actual article in Science: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2011/12/21/science.1214383

No. The fin is at one of the bottom-most layers of the chip. All the metalization layers for wires sit on top of the transistors.

Yes, none is better. I'd rather not be given an option if I don't really like either. Furthermore, if you accidentally click on a link with Flash content, your browser may slow to a crawl.

You purchased some random kitchen tool (1) without knowing what it does and (2) without any idea what you were going to do with it? Man have I got some fine products to show you...

You mean to say they plan to also build a weather machine to replicate the ever sunny skies here?

From what I can tell, VS2010 is going back to the old model of just including all the DLLs in the app directory. VS2008 was a huge pain with its manifests and SxS assemblies and crap.

A mod of Funny doesn't give the submitter any karma. For generosity, some people mod funny posts as Informative or Insightful.

... and that killer app would probably be easier to write in DirectX.

This is not entirely true for a framework like OpenGL. You surely can add your own features or improve performance on your end, but these changes must be incorporated into graphics card drivers by vendors in order to have a wide audience. This is where it helps to have the industry clout that Microsoft does (not that this is necessarily a good thing, but they have the power to push through changes into hardware using their DirectX specs).
