  1. Reminds me of the TCAP.... by Booker · · Score: 2 · on Massive Storage Advances
    Ok, maybe not quite so vaporous, but the first thing that came to mind was the TCAP:

    American Computer Company readying a new kind of semiconducting device which
    rivals the Transistor --the Transcapacitor: a 12-Teraherz Clock Speed Microprocessor
    & Storage "Building Block" Component which could Revolutionize Consumer Electronics
    and all forms of Computing and communications, by making low cost CPUs and Disk Drives run
    as much as 10,000 times faster, consume minute quantities of power and occupy 50 times less space.


    All that, and they packaged it in a Pentium II case! :)

  2. Whatever happened to these guys? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The End of Moore's Law?

    Remember these guys, say they discovered some new stuff based on Roswell tech The Trans-Capacitor

  3. Let your keyboard do the walking... by leonbrooks · · Score: 1 · on 90-Gigabyte Solid-State "Hard Drive?"

    A search on Google brought up lots of interesting stuff, notably this.

    Kind of interesting. Has prices, phone numbers for ordering, claims the technology was featured in several magazines including PC World.

    Well well color me confused.

    all about the tcap: seems to be fairly valid, and its on bell labs site. So this might accually be alien technology. ARG. I don't know weither to be amazed or critical. For right now, I'm very critical

  6. /. effect should fight for Truth! by jazmataz23 · · Score: 1 · on 90-Gigabyte Solid-State "Hard Drive?"
    I was reading the mass-storage Ask Slashdot thread this morning; somone posted this link there. Apparently, someone submitted the link back in as a news article. Here's a link with good debunking material from that previous thread. So is that all well and good? We know now we won't be buying into their 90GiB chip, much less a new video card from these clowns, right?

    But! I spent some time reading their "forum" section. This is a truly frightening place; there seem to be three or four posts daily asking for corroborative links, which are responded to by "avatars" flaming the bejeezus out of the querant. I'm bothered by this; I'm so used to /.'s freewheeling, the-ones-that-know-tell-everyone-else-what-the-rea l-deal-is nature of slashdot forums. The conscensus of this /. forum is to dismiss it; this is a joke or publicity stunt. In fact it isn't. These guys take themselves very seriously, and are openly hostile to any and all references to actual (peer-reviewed) research.

    Ask Ed Gehrman what he's experienced with this site. He's posted several comments on their site, but then gets childishly (and publicly) ridiculed by the maintainers of the forum, not on the merit of his posts, but the size of his genitalia, literacy, family, etc. This from the supposed CS/EE's, makers of Tommorow's Tommorrow's Technology who can't even spell "teraherz" or "dialectrics" (sic).

    I sent Ed a link to Third Voice, and did a touch of debunking myself. If we all went to the site & tore apart their claims, perhaps we can rescue the idiots who're listening to their claims (and sending $$ and equipment to further research, believe it or not. I saw the posts on the forum today).

    Anyway, that's my perfect scenario, now that this snake oil operation as once again resurfaced on /.: what if 1000's of /.ers descend on their little party armed with facts and reason... "what a wonderful world it would be..."

    So go forth, my fellow Knights of Reason and Heroines of Truth (or vice/versa :) ). Take up your expertise, your passion, your wit, and take these goons to task! Yield no quarter, take no prisoners, kick ass, forget names, and have fun with it!
