There are still other options.    First off, you can always add more processors and make the piece of silicon bigger, replace mechanical drives/CD and DVD ROMS with silicon based drives and we'll have much faster systems.  Then you have optimization of the OS and applications.<br><br>IMO all of the computers/laptops we have been using have all been prototypes of what will eventually be the ultimate computer/laptop and then we can just focus on using the darn things and stop arguing over which one is better.<br><br>I personally think that eventually we'll have only one microprocessor company that makes all of the various types of microprocessors we'll ever need.  Eventually pure capitalism is going to prove that it doesn't work, just like pure socialism doesn't work.<br><br>Maybe between now and 10 years from now the Mac OS will become perfect and we won't have to deal with Windows.  Maybe Mac OS X is ultimately going to be perfected where it won't need updates as it will have all of the features we'll need and it will be fully optimized and it won't crash and in that time frame all of the applications will have all of the features we'll ever need and we won't have to keep on upgrading.<br><br>Then we'll have time to just focus on actually using the computers and applications and having fun without having to deal with fixing them.<br><br><br><br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David Blank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2007 11:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gordon Moore predicts end to Moore's law in 10 years]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/gordon-moore-predicts-end-to-moores-law-in-10-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/gordon-moore-predicts-end-to-moores-law-in-10-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[The only problem with that particular train of thought, in its current iteration, is that it completely misses the most vital piece of the entire argument:  the affect of the end user.<br><br>As a net admin in education, I have personally witness end users, who honestly believed they were doing 'the correct thing' blow their systems sideways in some SPECTACULARLY amazing ways... ways I cannot even begin to explain here.  So until we solve the 'end user dilemma', as it were, no advance in the computing industry will ever prevent us from not having to fix software or hardware.  All we can really hope to do is make it faster and 'candy coated' enough that they can't really hurt themselves as badly when they start tinkering with it under the hood.  This very thing has a lot to do with how OS X and Vista are put together, especially Vista.  Microsoft has become weary of being the public whipping boy every time their end users blow up their home or work machines doing things they expressly should not do, things that the rest of us would typically consider common sense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Asher69]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2007 1:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gordon Moore predicts end to Moore's law in 10 years]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/gordon-moore-predicts-end-to-moores-law-in-10-years/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/gordon-moore-predicts-end-to-moores-law-in-10-years/</guid><description><![CDATA[Apple is on its way of perfecting the OS far faster than Microsoft and eventually there won't be any end loser issues.

Personally, I think this technology is coming to laptops and desktops with better apps maybe in the next year or two.  The number of apps that take advantage of this will be small, but growing.  From what I have seen in the industry, there is probably about 1% of the tens of thousands of applications that are actually worthwhile.  There are a lot of apps that should be built right into the OS and that has been gradually happening over the last 20+ years.  I think that trend will be increasing at a faster rate.
