I agree. My first gpu a, 3dFX Voodoo 2, was probably the best upgrade for me. Going from sotware to hardware accelerated 3d was a big jump, now it just feels like incremental updates. Doesn't seem to invoke the same sense of "ooooooooh" anymore :)

Stoobalou writes: Since Apple released an emergency update to the beleaguered handset's iOS4 operating system earlier today, an avalanche of bewildered iPhone users have been bombarding the company's forums with tales of infinitive restart loops, failed upgrades and even some permanently bricked hardware.

1sockchuck writes "Stealthy startup SeaMicro has unveiled its new low-power server, which incorporates 512 Intel Atom CPUs, a load balancer and interconnection fabric into a 10u server. SeaMicro, which received a $9.3 million government grant from DOE to develop its technology, says its server uses less than 2 kilowatts of energy — suggesting that a single rack with four SeaMicro units and 2,048 CPUs could draw just 8 kilowatts of power.

From the article: "Obviously this is an error. It looks like Redfin software pulled an example listing from the website Owners.com by mistake. That example listing was the White House. We have e-mailed Redfin for comment." I know it's historic but it still looks a bit on the high side according to the comparables in the area.
