Myspace itself looks like a GIF made in the early 90s.

ooh, very good idea. just what i need.

Seriously? You mention a single example of the kind of program you're talking about, and it's a Mac program?
You could at least do the rest of the world a favor and mention Digsby too, instead of making them go look for it.

@Kaos:

"2. Hyper Transport makes a comeback, remember how awesome P4 HT was? If you have a 4 core i7, it is seen as 8 threads in the OS, multiple in/out"

umm... HyperTransport is a type of connection between processor and northbridge, used by AMD as an alternative to the inferior Front-Side Bus (FSB).
What you're talking about is Hyper-*threading*.

two words... noise level.

your first part is only true in Windows (and Mac? idk).
with the IEC system, it's the other way around:
1024 MB ≠ 1 GB
1000 MB = 1 GB
...and...
1024 MB = 1 GiB.

outside the IEC system, the following can be true:
1024 MB = 1 GB
1000 MB = 1 GB
and thats the raison d'être of the IEC system, of which 'GiB' is a part.

read the links a couple of people posted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Overhead
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion

your second part is a bit off too. if you divide 1.5 TB down to bytes by using "1000" between each level (TB/GB/MB/KB/B), then multiply back up to TiB using 1024 between each level, you get: 1.36 TiB / 1396.98 GiB / 1,430,511.5 MiB.

"the cake is a lie"?

;D

Limited in usefulness, but a cool idea nevertheless, cuz I'm sure there are people that could benefit from this.
