08.19.2010 - Harris, Intel Survey Points to "Hourglass Outrage"

Intel’s most recent technology study conducted by Harris Interactive* revealed that eight out of ten (80 percent) U.S. adults get frustrated waiting for their technology to load. Additionally, while waiting, half (51 percent) have done something in a manner inconsistent with their usual behavior. In fact, 61 percent of U.S. adults admitted to yelling or cursing out loud when their technology can’t keep up with them, while others hit their computer mouse (29%) or banged on their computer screen and keyboard (24%). Luckily, Intel has gotten to the core of the problem with  the new 2010 Intel® Core™ family of processors, to give users who hate to wait a way to keep up with their busy lives.
