Submission + - The Future of AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA

While the 8800 series GPU is an engineering marvel, I do not know if it is a testament to NVIDIA's future. At this time I do not think that NVIDIA has the needed elegance in engineering to compete with the AMD and Intel of the future unless they make sweeping changes."

In this interview, the now 22 year old Frawley traces his invention of the Dragonfly — from brainstorm to mass production. He describes creating a practical fly weight by painstakingly shaving plastic from the gears of his prototype , experimenting with carbon fiber for durability, and finding a Pacific Rim manufacturer to produce a low-cost version of the toy. He has walked where many of us dream of going."
