Charles Hooper has a good 'get down in the trenches' technical article on hints and why they may or may not get used. It reminds me of a key I've wanted on the PC for a long time: the 'Just do what I want!' key. It would be right next to the 'Right now, dammit!' key: I ORDERED a Hint – Why Won’t You Listen to Me?
Technology
It looks like the end for Moore's Law, but being an optimist about technology, I would say it's only a pause. There are technologies in the wings that will soon get the clock moving again. So my prediction is that Moore's Law will be back on the road in a few years. The Storage Mojo blog discusses it: Moore’s Wall: the end of Moore’s Law.

Life, the Universe, and Everything
I love going to zoos and aquariums, and I'm kicking myself that in all the times I've been Atlanta I've never been to the huge aquarium there. There's a nice film clip at this posting on it by The Laughing Squid: Georgia Aquarium, The World’s Largest Aquarium.
