Most of the popular applications are toys, and this saddens me a lot personally, because humanity is wasting the potential it has with all that cheap computing available.<p>I always wonder if pretentious people realize their pretentious and simply don&#x27;t care, or they&#x27;re actually oblivious.

It has <i>nothing</i> to do with the process used to build it.
