Demystifying UEFI, the Overdue BIOS Replacement

An anonymous reader writes "After more than 30 years of unerring and yet surprising supremacy, BIOS is taking its final bows. Taking its place is UEFI, a specification that begun its life as the Intel Boot Initiative way back in 1998 when BIOS's antiquated limitations were hampering systems built with Intel's Itanium processors. UEFI, as the article explains, is a complete re-imagining of a computer boot environment, and as such it has almost no similarities to the PC BIOS that it replaces."

If only we could start a contest where Millions of iPad and iPad2 owners play angry birds while crossing busy intersections.
Surviving player with the highest score (Angry brids score + number of feet walked) wins an iPad3.

I would pay to watch it.
