Here is the golden rule of organizing bugs: fix bugs in the order most likely to result in success. Sounds obvious, right? Wrong. I'd bet that more than half of the buggy and unreliable software you've ever used was that way not because the developers didn't have time to make it better; they simply fixed the wrong bugs.

"Cell" Processor Chip

Consider that Intel delivered the first teraflops (one thousand gigaflops) supercomputer to the U.S. Department of Energy in December 1996. That supercomputer had 9,216 Pentium Pro processors packaged in 85 cabinets. It occupied 1,600 square feet of floor space and required 800 kilowatts (kW) of power. Today, just four tiny Cell chips produce the same performance as the world's fastest supercomputer did less than 10 years ago. That's impressive for a chip in your TV set
