Looks like The Kernel is right: Maybe Hardware Analysis has more grudge than fact after all.
Which is, of course, encouraging that ATI won't have a flop product... discouraging that HA would falsify benchmarks just to slam a company.
Oh well. Still waitin' for release...

And if you spend enormous amounts of money on advertising, you're going to pass those costs onto the consumer so it's quite likely that you'll be offering inferior value for money compared to someone who makes a high quality product but doesn't spend much on advertising. A good example of this woul...

An excellent point. I guess it can easily be said that there's no ONE way to define the self. It's not memories, because those are so fragile. It's not personality, because that's so easily altered (relatively). It's not physical matter, because that changes over long periods of time (or short perio...

I guess I just take a pretty gestalt view on the whole thing. A person is made up of many different parts AS WELL AS the way those parts are put together. Think of a jigsaw puzzle.... if you take the whole thing apart and then put it back together, is it still the same picture? Remember that the hum...

But your conciousness was torn apart. Unnoticeably so, according to the thought experiment. I tell you what. I'll take a sledge to your skull and then put the icky stuff that seeps out into a convenient blender and have fun. After that, I'll get a really good brain surgeon to reconstruct your brain...

My immediate thought is that a market with a broad spectrum of competing products would foster a greater amount of parity between the leading brands. Think of products like Mp3 players and LCD monitors... both commonly use parts (the important parts, anyway, like the storage medium or the actual scr...

Or do you believe being disintegrated at the molecular level and sent across as a stream in subspace or whatever maintains your conciousness? Sure. Why not? There's nothing magically unique about a person. Unless you believe in some sort of soul? No, no.... if the mind that's re-formed is the "...

I don't know whether or not there will be a price disparity, and neither do you. I don't know why you insist on making such authorative statements with so little to base them on. Wait a sec, I've been calling it speculation from day one. You're right that the 7800GTX's price fell rapidly... but the...

The 7800 GTX could be had for $100 under MSRP only a few weeks after release. ::sigh:: So... what? You're simply naming ANOTHER way in which the match-up is uneven. This doesn't change the fact that the match-up is, indeed, uneven. Get it? There is no tie between these products if one of them is si...

The 7800's lower price has to do with the fact that it came out first. This in no way changes the fact that the R520 is overpriced (officially) for these (rumor) performance numbers. It simply explains it. If the 520 had been released at the same time, roughly, as the 7800, the parity would be there...

There is no sw ( in traditional sense ) in the brain. Software in the brain is more like it's generated on the fly... memories, for example, aren't stored as pictures or movie clips (or the organic brain equivalent), but as approximations.... heavily compressed, essentially. When recalling memories...

I think it will a very long time before the gas and oil companies allow (or are forced to allow) the wide-spread establishment of stations for alternative fuels. The gas and oil companies sell more than just gasoline for cars. Losing the Almighty Gas Station to an alternafuel isn't going to assassi...

Uh-oh. Did that look like they were trying to re-do the Reverse Beartrap sequence with a miniature iron maiden? Great sequence and all, but that doesn't inspire me to get excited. On the other hand, it may turn out to be a semi-remake, like Evil Dead II was. The first Saw had some pretty nasty glari...
