I wouldn't be shocked if NVIDIA split their product lines going forward. I wouldn't be shocked if they went back to the old ways either, but I can see some reasons they would not.
For your sake, since I can't be bothered to go through your browsing history, I hope you weren't one of those guys shouting 'PhysX and CUDA' from the rooftops for Thermi. Also, interesting how PhysX is barely mentioned nowadays.
