Nope. Maybe in 10 years mobile devices will be able to host 1-2 VMs with several instances of your favorite IDE and web browser with 20+ opened tabs running in background while you play GTA V in foreground at 60+ FPS, but by that time I'll be asking much more from my working machine.
Yeah sure, you can use phone to create few pie charts, but when you need compile several hundred thousand lines of code all you want is a decent desktop machine.

There will always be an application or applications that will be unsuitable for a big-box-store level desktop machine. A desktop with serious cores, memory and/or graphics will have its place for a long time.
However, at this point most people don't need that power. Phones will be desktop replacements in the not-so-distant future.

Better than PABIMNFHOTD = Put a bullet in my non-f***ing head of the day, I suppose.

Being as there seems to have been an omission in the WSO CCC OTD today, I thought I would offer the following *JOKE* (take note) one just for a giggle:
Really good look (10)
Clue: It helps if you're from London
Normal service, I assume, shall be returned tomorrow?
Sometimes, it just is, OK!
