False 8 year old predictions a testament to how slow we are

My quad core is technically "rated" at 9.6ghz according to system requirements lab but it still doesn't change shit. This proves that the tech industry is just another global money laundering front.

I would normally ask people to become cool hippies on this and build their own PCB's in protest only to quickly realize that not many of us have the millions of dollars it takes to actually start up any lithography or silicon transistor/semiconductor processing plant. Fucking shame, goddammit...

Except we learned that we really don't need that speed right now, and that multiple core processing facilitation would benefit us more in the long run so we moved over to that...
