As far as I know analog devices still makes some ones-complement Analog to Digital Converters. But I don't know of any modern processor that uses them.

AMD has lost their edge. They used to compete with low priced processors that were pretty much matched, within a few percent, with Intel's offerings. With their newest flagship Bulldozer processors retailing at 279.00 you can save yourself $60.00 and go with the a Intel i5-2500k and have nearly the same performance. The AMDs may do well in highly multithreaded scenarios, but their single core performance isn't stellar.
I think one of the comments on the original article sums up my thoughts:

  "Why? You don't think the fact that a majority of the US 
population is superstitious, and teaches their offspring that the world is the pet project of a master magician might have anything to do with it?"

I couldn't agree more. Pictures of food are really not very useful. If the pages contained actual information, maybe the recipe (some pages do) then this might be useful. Also, I think some type of search is absolutely necessary.
