"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

Update on the R9 290X (the alleged 'Titan killer'):
It will have overall performance slightly higher than the Titan, but very similar overall, so that's not a big selling point. What is the big selling point of the card is the pricing. It is gonna cost even less than the GTX 780, being priced at ~600$. That's 50$ less than the GTX780 and 400$ less than the Titan, while having similar performance.
We can expect some pretty heavy pricecuts on Nvidia cards going forward, that or they'll be left in the dust, which I doubt they will allow.

Edit: Also, they announced a competitor to Nvidia's Titan. (supposedly being more powerful according to leaked benchmarks)
Mantle seems interesting. I would very much like it if control over the main graphics API on the PC platform wasn't in the hands of Micro$oft.
I just hope it doesn't turn into a case of:
