Problem is this:

CNT (Carbon Nono Tubes) cost a fortune to manufacture.
You'd be able to purchase a refrigerated cooling system for less than the cost of enough CNTs to properly cool a CPU.

I'm sure though, that we'll see a few heat sink paste manufacturers adding a few gramms of CNTs to their big batches and claiming that their product is CNT based, even though the actual number of CNTs per square inch of properly applied heatsink paste is only just over zero.
Gulible people will still buy it, hell, people buy Office 2003 don't they?

and office 98, office 2000, office XP, and upgrade every time a new version comes along despite the fact there are usually almost no noticable differences between them.

that I can't understand, where the desire to be updated overrides the commonsense notion that wait, you don't NEED the latest versions when the old ones did more than you wanted anyway.
