hEDONic pricing?!... I thought this BS baloon has been shot down for good few months ago.

I understand american economy is floundering in hedonically (hedonely/hedonicly ... man, this word sounds better in GREEK than in colloquial English) priced hardware. I can just talk for myself: since my 200 MHz AMD I have not noticed my machine is getting any faster/productiver doing NOPs (Lewis Carrol would say - curioser, curioser...)

The HED at the beginning of the word brings HEDalgo Don Quichotte to my mind.

<No, hedonic pricing makes your total factor productivity lower unless you expand your output in line with all that extra computing power....>

Yes, but when I buy a computer... the government is telling me that [spewing productivity numbers] it costs less than my last one... because it's "better" regardless of my output with it.
