Here is one example of trademark issue from "nobody". I made a iPhone twitter client called Nukkad (URL: http://bit.ly/Z0uaY). It has capability to use Google Translate to inline translate tweets. It used to be called Twitter World. First I heard from Google. They wanted me to put up "Translated by Google" at the top of every screen which includes translation. Next I heard from Twitter, they wanted me to change the name. All issue were resolvable. I am nobody hardly make any money, but yes the big Corporations do go after nobody even if you are not making any money.

The problem with thousand of cores is not hardware related. Yes, Intel can build thousands of core by continued innovation in the hardware. However, the software community is still struggling to understand how to use even 8 cores. The concurrency issues are enormous. For example look at the following post: http://kashi.webhop.net/blog/Technology/index.php/archives/22 Till we solve the concurrency issues the increased number of core will not achieve any higher performance. The C++ is just starting to deal with concurrency. C++0x adds threads support however, that is just the starting point.
