This much in profit.. anyone feel like with these kinds of profits shouldn't there be a much higher amount of innovation than some hella-cores i7 i9 chipsets?

Maybe I'm just bitter and want things like battery life tech to come out of the dark ages.]]>Jul 13th 2010 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/Jul 13th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/Jul 13th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/They have the best processors around.

Because for casual, home computing, most people would rather be on the couch with their computer, than hunched over a desk with their neck turned so that they can see the TV.

The PERSONAL computer is no longer the desktop. Desktop computers are generally now used by everyone in the family, in more of a media hub/server fashion. The PERSONAL devices are becoming smaller and smaller, until they are all hand held devices that can seamlessly dock with larger displays and additional peripherals. Mobile is absolutely the final frontier in "home" (meaning not done at work) computing.]]>Jul 13th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/intel-has-its-best-quarter-ever-brings-in-2-9b-profit/

Not be a socialist but I took a class last semester on Karl Marx's Capital book. We are in what people would call "monopoly capitalism"

Little fact: Marx praised capitalism in its early stages for its rapid innovation and advances.

The Ferengi were only sort of capitalist. They had one large monopoly, otherwise known as their global government, led by the Grand Nagus. In a "free" capitalist society, real monopolies would never have a chance to truly endure. They'd always fall eventually due to market forces.

Contracts are also a cornerstone of capitalist and free societies. I believe a rule of acquisition is "a contract is a contract is a contract... but only between Ferengi." A society that operated like that would have extremely limited real world economic success.
