Yeah, I get it. I just want to know (in this economy) why we think it's their problem...Problem with selling wedding cakes is when the other trillion dollar organisations who want carrot cake can't get it.

It's their problem because they have customers who have customers.
Micron etc are selling to the highest bidder to make money, short term massive windfall. When the bubble implodes (if) and their former "best customers" basically tell them to FOAD? It'll be interesting.
Consumers mean nothing right now, but long term business reputation?
We'll see smaller fabs in the next decade challenge the big 3 and then see big players shift to them causing Micron n'co to lose share.
So, they've made a load of cash, then the cow dies, so:Micron etc are selling to the highest bidder to make money, short term massive windfall. When the bubble implodes (if) and their former "best customers" basically tell them to FOAD? It'll be interesting.
We want RAM, we'll start buying off them again at cheaper prices. They don't need us to like them - but there's only three of them, so we're going to suck that dick - hard.Consumers mean nothing right now, but long term business reputation?
Good. Lets hope so. But you're talking billions to make a fab, so it'll be big boys anyway.We'll see smaller fabs in the next decade challenge the big 3 and then see big players shift to them causing Micron n'co to lose share.

Swarms of cyborg insects controlled remotely via electrical implants can now operate underwater, thanks to tiny diving suits supplying them with oxygen
All those wankers who wear these I hope they have a automatic blackout after 3hrs 1min of use until you pay £100 to look like a cunt for another 3hrs 1min. /points to my arse when the "ooh what about accidents crowd", fuckoff the glasses are bad enough now to be a distraction (not sure if true as I have as much interest in these wearables as I do looking at my shit)Wankers, complaining about wankers being wankers, to wankers.
Edit, also, well colour me all types of surprised, amazed, bigger news that the end of WW2, easily.

...Patients due for hip replacement are told, as part of the pre surgery, to walk around a lot more and do certain exercises, such as side steps. Those who follow that advice usually don't then require a hip replacement. It saves an absolute fortune for the NHS doing that.
I maintain my position that the NHS should be a statutory consultee to all transport and planning decisions, local or national. Forcing officers and councillors to listen to doctors about how making it easier to walk and cycle around, and exactly how much money can be saved (like 10% of the NHS's budget being spent on diabetes) could be transformative.
"I'd do it. Small chunks would be easy to fit in," she says. "I don't have a gym membership or any of that but I could go for a walk. That's free."
But when it comes to incentives, discounts wouldn't cut it. "If my walking is converted into a freebie, like a drink or food, then that would help get me to do it."
Not wanting to break a "streak", or run of consistent days, is definitely a motivator for her and her friends.Another, who already clocks up roughly a marathon's worth of walking each month, admitted he'd happily take a free reward for something he's already doing
