"The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell"

    "Gamers often find 'input lag' annoying, but over the years,
    delay has crept into many other gadgets with equally painful
    results. Something as simple as mobile communication or
    changing TV channels can suffer. Software too is far from
    innocent (Java or Visual Studio 2010 anyone?), and even the
    desktop itself is riddled with 'invisible' latencies which
    can frustrate users (take the new Launcher bar in Ubuntu 11
    for example). More worryingly, Bufferbloat is a problem that
    plagues the internet, but has only recently hit the news.
    Half of the problem is that it's often difficult to pin down
    unless you look out for it. As Mick West pointed out:
    'Players, and sometimes even designers, cannot always put
    into words what they feel is wrong with a particular game's
    controls ... Or they might not be able to tell you anything,
    and simply say the game sucked, without really understanding
    why it sucked.'"
