10GHz Processors and Ultraviolet Lithography

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-i-can-crack-keys-on-it dept.

hoyosa writes "This article on zd-net reports that Extreme Ultraviolet LLC has built the first ultraviolet lithography stand for manufacturing processors. Will this make silicone obsolete? " Some interesting bits in there. Also "Soon" means we won't see actual chips until oh, say 2005, so don't hold your breath or anything.

    At what point do we know the answer before we ask the question?

    Are you really so blind? PC's haven't been sexy for years. PC's are a commodity; there is no room left for 'sexy' in that economic equation. Only one PC product is sexy today...

    Take two steps back, then walk over to the nearest Apple Store. Buy a Mac. You need to do this. You know you want to. Don't be afraid; you would be amazed at the level of support you will get from your friends after 'coming out'. Buy a Mac. Bask in its sexiness. Everything from the mouse to the case to the GUI is designed to appeal to the senses. The apps are functional without being bloated, and they are intuitively easy to use (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, etc.). When was the last time that you showed your system off to fellow computer geeks and had a 'wow' reaction? Your new G4 will get that.

    Several of my long-time PC-using friends have recently joined me as new Mac users, and none have looked back.
