	Why would it be dead? 
	The processors are not bad, neither are they end of lifecycle like
	the PPros and Pentium IIs. IBM and Motorola even have a roadmap
	(which they even seem to be keeping time/feature wise) what they
	want and will do with the processors. On the embedded side, there
	seems to be an abundance of choices, as are for the set-top box
	people. 

	So why dead?

	There is no love, no good, no happiness and no future -
	all these are just illusions.
