I'm currently on break at school... I'm not sure how I feel about breaks.
While awesome, they have, for me at least, a fatal flaw: they allow me to remember how much I loathe being in school and how tired I am of be absolutely broke all the time.
At this point all I really want is to get a fucking job. (And move to Hawai'i.)
In other, less emo news: Intel is looking to join the GPU market, in case you hadn't heard... In an article published on Gamasutra.com yesterday it's revealed to the general public (you) that Intel Corp is looking to compete with nVidia and ATI by entering into the GPU market with its "new Nehalem microarchitecture, its Visual Computing initiative, and its Larrabee architecture". (I apologise if that sentence wasn't long enough for you...) The speech from Intel Corporation's Senior Vice President and General Manager, Digital Enterprise Group, Patrick P. Gelsinger, was not focused specifically on Intel entering into GPU production and marketing, but announced to the press its plans for upcoming processors and chip architecture as a whole. What is most significant to gaming is the new Larrabee project architecture. The article goes into far more detail than I am prepared to type out for you here so I suggest that all interested parties go read it.
Also: We're wicked sorry about that downtime yesterday. We 
you guys!!

Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra
I think they'd be best sticking with what they know, CPU's and terrible on-board graphics chips, otherwise it'll cost them the CPU market for a few months at least.
Keep your eyes peeled for the average gamers.
Nothing's broken, it's just functioning differently.

Quite interesting. I am sure they made a bid for NVIDIA first, and got slapped down.
I think it's very interesting that NVIDIA bought AGEIA. Called that one about a year ago.
Very cool stuff indeed.
I, Gamer!
