I have yet to learn how to write Java apps. Maybe that's the best workaround for the the "graphics acceleration" issue. ("If this website looks like crap, just download the app.")

A better experience sounds good, but the elite are full of it. Speed just isn't an issue anymore, and they're using it as an excuse to achieve financial goals (it was probably planned at the WEF.)

That's another possible explanation for the graphics acceleration thing; if they're not doing it to sell more hardware, they're doing it to make things easier for their monkeys.
