Is Hyperchip Hype?

Posted by timothy on Saturday January 19, 2002 @06:35AM from the and-then-a-miracle-occurs dept.

Peter Galbraith writes "There was an interview on CBC (here in Canada) last evening about Hyperchip, a Montreal-based company that are working on a new type of router that would scale up 1000 times in traffic (so wouldn't be obsolete in less than a year) and would pass packets to their destination in a few hops instead of a dozen or more. Any experts out there think it's hype? Or real?" The explanation on Hyperchip's "technology" page is pretty thin, but considering they just raised $70 million, I hope they've given more convincing details to their investors.

I don't have to say anything. Your borderline illiteracy seems to indicate a US citizenship and, in such a case, one of your "free" fellow citizens will stumble along and shoot you before too long anyway. Hopefully he can squint through a haze of crap American beer well enough to get you between the eyes (aiming just south of the NASCAR logo on your hat should be almost perfect).
