We probably need to develop some kind of software that really would scale in
usability according to the amount of processing it runs on. I think it can
become a big problem that people settles for <$1000 computers. This could
stop the exponential growth in the semiconductor industry and delay the time
when us ordinary folks can get our hands on the raw iron.
Here I have the same goal as Intel. Keep those processor hungry apps coming!
