Great post.
Too many people viewed the Web as just the latest development in client-server technologies, and this is how it is often employed within companies.

Anything that lets us make transistors faster without paying a huge cost in leakage (power consumption when not switching) is a win. It sucks to go from one process node to the next and get almost no performance benefit unless you're willing to pay a leakage penalty. SOI rocks, but not everybody has it. Therefore, I'm a bit more excited about graphene than you are.
Thank you.

Huh? You're pretty harsh.
AOL and the MSN part of MS were certainly rivals. The icons plastered all over the desktop were put there by the hardware vendor. I know they paid quite a few different parties to put their icons on the desktop with the software install. AOL bought Netscape primarily to keep MS honest on the browser front, IMHO. Needless to say, they cooperated when it was in the best interest of both parties.
