The Geekbench results show a reading of 1.02 GHz. How that could be mistaken for 1.2 GHz instead of 1.0 GHz is beyond me, as the article text stated when I typed this.

... a development like this seemed inevitable, it was only a question of when it would happen again - the mere existence of Stuxnet proved that a malware attack on an industrial control system is not only plausible, but effective if done right. Furthermore, I'm sure the attackers realize that they can cause a lot of damage without ever having to visit a site physically. This fact makes such attacks more difficult than usual to defend against, and not helping matters is that not all industrial control vendors are even aware of security problems with their devices; let alone the time it takes to get a patch tested, validated, and deployed.

I suspect that the dominance of Hard Disk Drive usage in this poll is of no big surprise to most Slashdot viewers. That being said, HDDs easily win the capacity race, at least for now. SSDs are rapidly catching up, and their speed blows away that of a traditional hard disk. Unfortunately, SSDs are also much more costly per GB (or GiB if you prefer) of storage... so most of us pick the big and cheap option. I also think that SSDs will become much more common as built-in parts of tomorrow's computers - notebooks especially, and also smaller devices (netbooks, media players, and tablets). Desktops will most likely be the last to adopt SSDs in great numbers, due to most desktop buyers wanting lots of power and lots of local storage.
