What is the name of the computing law that says that for every increase in computing power there will be a complimentary increase in resource requirements of new and upgraded applications to fill that increased capability? I know that I have heard of it somewhere.
Got a tip for us?

A bit like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law
The demand upon a resource tends to expand to match the supply of the resource.
Sounds close to the economic law of demand; that the lower the price of a service or commodity, the greater the quantity demanded.
near Wirth's law also.

Don't know if it has a name. I'd call it Gates' Law. "What Andy (Grove) giveth, Bill taketh away."
Moores law is the law about how many transisters they can fit on a cpu die based on time actually.
