Is Hyperchip Hype?

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.

Re:Sun is Fucked [OT]

This would have been better suited for the Gnome thread; but its offtopic, nonetheless..

But still, sun is far from fucked - The aftermarket Sun Enterprise systems are selling like hotcakes from 3rd parties - This is bad for sun, but not -all- bad. You buy that 5500? You need support for it. If you get support from Sun, you get to pay an additional premium since you didnt buy it from them or a sun VAR.

Sales of the USIII line are now above the USII line. Sun expects to be in the black by the end of 2q.
