StarCraft 2 took 12 years and was great.
Diablo 3 also took 12 years to release, and it most certainly wasn't great.

the CPU vendors need to start stacking them onto their die.
In 5 years your systems will be sold with fixed memory sizes, and the only way to upgrade is to upgrade CPUs.
Stacked vias could also be used for other peripheral devices as well. (GPU?)
Problem with this, of course, is that Intel wants to stop having slotted motherboards. Chips will be affixed to boards. Makes RAM upgrades a costly proposition, no?
What about that cool pinball animation from the 1970s? 1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11 12!
The whole reason they went to 12 in that song (which they NEVER should have retired) is that, after 12, everything is pretty much repeated ad-infinium (with slight variations given to THIR-teen and FIF-teen as opposed to THREE-teen and FIVE-teen); kids just needed to learn the roots (TWENTY, THIRTY, etc...). Both ideas (essentially, pattern recognition -- a key to mathematics) were taught on the show (to 50 I believe).
Sesame Street Math is not new, thankfully.

Sadly, in that clip, they are teaching the imperial measurement system (that is, feet and inches) instead of the standard used in all but barely-a-handful of countries in the world, Metric. Granted, one of those countries is the United States (still? really?!?), where Sesame Street originates; but honestly, seize the opportunity to teach METRIC to young kids with this show. It makes so much more sense. Have The Count count to 10 along with the new math-teaching muppet (who SHOULD be The Count, IMHO -- The Count rules!); boom, there's metric. 10mm in a cm, 10cm in a dm, 10dm (or 100cm) in a m.
