With all due respect to these continuing amazing achievements, I'm no longer blown away by the ever-decreasing combination of price, size, power consumption against ever-increasing GPU, I/O & arithmetic performance. It seems clear this is just going to keep on at the same amazing rate, for quite a while. What I wait eagerly to be blown away by is innovative uses[1] for these supercomputers that fit on your thumbnail and could be powered by the kinetic energy you generate when you walk (excuse the hyperbole.) Bring on the applications! By which I mean applications of technology, not touchscreen apps. Low-power server farms & netbook-/iPad-alikes are fine and all, but I'm excited about what else gets created when excess computing power is essentially throwaway cheap and super portable... "Ubiquitous computing" has been coming for a while now, I can't wait to actually see it! </rant> :) [1] iPads and iPad-derived ideas aside.
