Yesterday was not the first time we've seen some event or another brown out our little gaming corner of the Internet, but it was the first such time I remember when the cause was a hardware announcement, rather than a demo/shareware/software release of some sort. NVIDIA certainly did a fine job of creating a fuss... I don't know if it changed the world, but it certainly almost broke the 'net, with the announcement bringing a few hardware sites, including NVIDIA's, down or to their figurative knees for a good part of the day. It is certainly the first time I can recall needing to mirror a press release because so many people were having a hard time accessing it.
