Here's what you're missing: [VIDEO] Followed up with the best attempt at a pickup line by a hacker in the movies. Back before the movies had them making out with random women in bathrooms over job offers involving sex, alcohol, bombs, and Houdini tributes. Hackers got really cool really fast. ;)
I was more trying to point to RISC in general ("RISC is good" [VIDEO] ). What I really wanted to say is that we've tried but RISC hasn't really been successful in the (mass consumer) market, which because of ARM is only partially true. In truth you're correct, and ARM is sort of an unruly mess at this point, but that's a much larger discussion.
Generally true, though that quote since then has been used so many times, I suspect that even google has lost count. For those in the dark still, it stems from this scene: [VIDEO]
