BBQ Nanochips

mcgraw — Mon, 12 Apr 2004 06:24:42 -0800

Nanochips The desire for boosting the number of transistors on a chip and for running it faster explains why the semiconductor industry, just as it crossed into the new millennium, shifted from manufacturing microchips to making nanochips. How it quietly passed this milestone, and how it continues to advance, is an amazing story of people overcoming some of the greatest engineering challenges of our time--challenges every bit as formidable as those encountered in building the first atomic bomb or sending a person to the moon.

Ah, the smell of Singularity in the morning! Singularitea - is that supposed to be some kind of new herbal tea, or something ? And does it wake you up, or does it put you to sleep....permanently ? Are these new "nanochips" a type of sweetener, like Nutrasweet, or a new non-dairy creamer ?

China Youth Daily: It was merely GDan commenting on Intel's CEO Craig Barrett's personality - iron fist inside a velvet glove, or some such. Great read! ("It is no coincidence that supercritical carbon dioxide has recently become a popular means to dry-clean clothes.") Who knew?

That's a very interesting article. This thread however, by way of contrast makes absolutely no fucking sense what-so-ever.
