Re: CeBIT article

Well.

I HAVE to respond to that one.

The company said such leaps in processing power would help spark a boom in the Internet ...

I guess the Internet isn't growing very fast so Intel has to help it
along with "leaps in processing power."
BZZZZZZZZZZT!

Hans-Juergen Mammitzsch, head of Dell's German unit, said the coming gains in processing power would also boost
Internet commerce.
"There will be huge opportunities when home PCs can run full- motion video off the Internet, and the Internet becomes truly multimedia"


I see, so when CPUs get fast enough we can have full motion video right over a 28.8 dialup.
BZZZZZZZZZZT!

...the company used a PC to show an animated underwater
scene that undulated with the current of the sea.


Yes, business users have been clamoring for animated underwater scenes.
BZZZZZZZZZZZT!

"I can easily see it hitting one billion in five years," Intel senior vice president Albert Yu told Reuters. "It is going to be a very different world."

Uh, yea, a world without Intel if they keep missing the boat like this.
