Oh Steve, you're such a poke. Don't you really want things that move a thousand times faster? Wouldn't you really want to see how things are shaped on your screen instead of having to go outside to see them? Where's your sense of thrill?

They *want* video. So, if I'm seeking to market some crap, or to brainwash the populace (spread memes), video is the tool. If they are on utube already, why do I need more power than my Dell 9" mini with 2 gig RAM & 1 6GH flash drive? I can watch the videos, even the World Cup Soccer matches and on-line movies and live tv right now with a 48 MBPS wireless signal. I could be missing 3D movies I suppose. ;-) But as I don't care about that...
