At least look at the last paragraph of the History section.

The number 80 MFLOPS (Million FLoating-point Operations Per Second) is interesting because I ran the LINPACK benchmark on my RAZR last night, and my best run just topped 80 MFLOPS, slightly beating a Galaxy Nexus.

So give that $8 million supercomputer you can slip into your shirt pocket some love now and then, and realize how far we've come.

That's amazing -- thanks for sharing this Larry. That's hard to believe... definitely puts things in perspective. We go back and forth between 1080p this and 720p this and 1.2 dual core vs 1.5 dual core... they're all plenty of fast. With the exception of us superusers, most of that debate for 99.98% of users is like debating between a ferrari and a maserati for going highway speed. You know they're never taking that bad boy to VIR and opening it up like it should be. We all know they should just get a prius.
