Lame. Stuffing so my photosites into a tiny sensor just leads to noise. Very few people are going to print bigger than a 5x7" print with these little point-and-shoot jobbers, so why so many megapixels? For a 5x7", 2mp is adequate and 4mp is overkill.

Big numbers sell, though. It is like contrast ratios on LCD screens; there is no distinguishable difference between a 1000:1 and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio on LCDs if you introduce minimal light into a room, such as LED and LCD displays of A/V equipment reflecting off on non-black walls. However, folks are suckers for big numbers.

I have to agree. Less knowledgeable people tell me I got ripped when I tell them I paid $600 for a 8mp SLR, then they brag about their 12mp that cost $300 and is super small.

Exactly. Megapixels are nothing without a decent lens. That's the first thing they teach you in Digital Camera Basics 101.
