The marketing story that keeps on giving. When I first saw it upon introduction, I didn't think it would be this brilliant of a stroke. Nice idea, yeah, but no technical improvement over the status quo, especially when considering the excess power consumption. Turns out, it's a nice graphic method to introduce a wider audience to a topic that they would otherwise not know about, making it perfect to keep retelling it as a fun thing that someone might not know. I wonder if they knew when building this setup how much of a life of its own this would go on to lead.
