This is something that I thought about several months ago but never really bothered to do any research. Basically I was thinking about how as a business/consumer people generally plan when they are going to upgrade/replace/etc their machines/computers/etc.
Lets assume the generic consumer...
Often times the most overlooked component is one that can leave you with a vast turmoil in your emotional sea when you suddenly hear the dreaded noise of click, click, grinddd.
Unfortunately hard drives are often times overlooked as they don't really do much for your machine from a processing...
Probably the most abused genre out there currently is first person gaming. It has gotten so far outside the norm of reality that it makes me almost want to cringe in annoyance when I want to play a game.
The annoyances:
It is almost always completely unrealistic:
You can turn...
I wrote a fibinacci generator earlier because I was too lazy to look for a decent list on google. Anyway I discovered a rather interesting pattern...
It is rather interesting as the first character (going to two characters when it goes over) in each cell goes up going down the column...
While Photoshop is nice, costing at over 600 dollars does not exactly make it cost effective for the average person. Fireworks has much of the needed feature set, while also offering slightly more. This is basically my interest into the comparisons between them and the problems of each...

The Vegas 2 pile up:
Recently I have been bored out of my mind with computers, particularly in the hardware field. There is nothing massively interesting besides companies trying to throw out slightly better trash for consumers to scoop up like dogs from the floor. The entire market is dominated by x86 processors...
A small list of observations I have picked up:
1) Realize that your work has value. Even if it seems like a completely worthless piece of junk you would rather be rid of. Chances are someone somewhere will want it.
2) Do a little work often. Often times we tend to delay until the last...
The question is: are you satisfied with your computer and if not why.
My guess is that a majority of users have some irk with their current system and would like to beef it up. This is mostly a hardware related issue and not software, but overall satisfaction can be dependent upon OS.
After work Monday I decided to wipe fedora 7 from my system and install the new release. For awhile I had wanted to install the 64bit version but was deterred by incompatibilities with the 32bit necessities (mainly flash and binary games).
