Anyone else notice the monochrome screen in the beginning looks like someone cleaned it with a used tissue? :S

#1 Why waste a brand new tissue on a screen that is worth less then the tissue? :P

Using graphics cards as an example ...its just amazing how things have changed.

Back in 1999 I had a a Geforce 256 (back then it was stupidly expensive)

A 250 Nano meter process 111mm² square die area and a whopping 23 million transistors

...today my Gpu has 7.1 billion of them at 28nm and an area of 561 mm²

So from 207k transistors per mm² to well over 12 million ....

Just think if you went back to 1947 and told them, one day we will fit 12 million of these on something smaller than a flea!

I expected an actual zoom, not a slideshow of pictures

What strikes me amazing is how much power these things can take. One would think they would just melt or burn but no, CPU can draw 100W (of course that's in total over the area but still you would think anything this small could only take millivolts.)
