Alright mom, think of a normal hard drive as an average race horse. Its big, fast, and it will eventually cross the finish line. Now consider a "solid state drive". A solid state drive (or SSD for short) is more or less a race horse that is strung out on crystal meth, has laser beams for eyes...

LAPACK or LINPACK would be a great way to measure raw computation ability. They are usually used on servers but there are C++ versions of both that are easier to work with then the old fortran versions.

Stop complaining about apple including this tech before everyone else. This is merely a rumor - and a seemingly unlikely one at that.

I'm looking forward to Windows 8. I want to see where they go with the cloud, especially after the recent Balmer interview. I'd be expecting 8 to be pretty ambitious (which could be a really good or really bad thing).
