Opening a can of...wrist slapping

I put off writing another rambling in anticipation of the upcoming Caymen GPU release, figuring nothing else was happening in the technology world worth writing about as much. Well, guess what? It released.

And it's about damn time too. About a month delayed (plus a NDA lift postponed a few days), we have the 6900 family, a sub-group of the 6000 order tailoring exclusively to the highend portion of the market. AMD can hardly be faulted for a comparatively minor delay next to NVIDIA's pitfalls, but when all is said and done, this amounts more to a swift kick to the shin than an ass whoopin'.
