I pictured a data center full of nothing but wall outlets.

  You're a better man than I. The first thing that popped into my mine was a room full of daisy-chained power strips. I wonder what people are going to do with this. Reminds me a bit of the day when the Mac Mini was coming out, and immediately a lot of colocation offers were coming up. Well, according to some RiscOS programmers I once knew, ARM assembly is quite pleasant, one of them even preferred it to 68k. So let's see what people can eke out of a system like this.

    ARM Assembly (with the exception of TDMI) is an absolute dream compared to 68k, Sparc, MIPS or x86. Instructions are fixed to 32 bits so everything (in theory) should line up nicely, the predication functions are way better than using flags and cmp-type instructions and the pipelining is much better. Having said that, I wouldn't want to write a web app in ARM asm, I'd much rather use Python or Ruby.
