1. No more "Fatal 1, thank you"?

Good. I specifically avoid even the concept of computer hardware that has been endorsed by "celebrities."

This ridiculous endorsement brought down the value of Zalman's brand.

I agree Fatal1ty has also brought down Abit. Because of Fatal1ty, Abit have placed floppy, IDE, and power connectors in the worst spots.

2. 3D displays are over rated and primitive. When I think of a 3D display, I think holograms. If a company can create a flat device that sits om a table and it projects a 3D image with out using external sources like smoke or water vapor.

Using light to emerse the audience into the video content is not innovative. It just plain stupid. Audio does that better than video. However, people are too stupid buying speakers and setting up the their sound system correctly.

Only Bitmicro knows more about solid-state hard drives than Corsair and OCZ combine. Also NAND Flash chips have limited writes. Non-volatile memory like FRAM will be better but they too have same cons. When the cells are damaged from power surges, power outs, and electron erosion, these cells will not function. Retrieving data from a failed solid-state hard drive is still not feasible with today's technology. Telling people to backup their data is like pulling teeth. Solid-state hard drives is great but people are too stupid about the consequences that they include.

4. You can get ambient light for games today, even as DIY, from http://www.a-r-e.nl
