MSNBC on Infinera's Optical Chip

Posted by timothy on from the tripping-fantastic dept.

pnoti writes: "This article at MSNBC is a loose overview of Infinera's new chip with circuits that control the flow of light instead of the flow of electrons. 'If this chip performed as they hoped, it would shatter many of the theoretical limits regarding the behavior of light in optical communications networks.'" Update: 04/10 04:26 GMT by T : That's MSNBC, not The New York Times -- oops.

    The answer: nothing. India has been a country that has been "almost there" for decades.

    The real important news, though, is Mozilla 1.0RC1 is almost here!

    When I was a boy, my dear father bought my brother and I a magnifying glass. It was an unseasonably warm and sunny summer on the farm, and we had just discovered a nest of spotted Wyoming honey beetles. Why, I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be them under the heat of that magnifying glass! No, sir. Nowadays, I tell this story, and the animal rights killjoys just get all over me. I tell you, PETA is an organization from Hell. None dumber, or more annoying! They tell me I can't even eat meat. How in the sam hill am I supposed to get through my week without my sixteen ounces of fresh-cut tenderloin? I'll eat my steak, I'll eat it well-done, I'll eat it with salt and pepper, and none of it is any of those damn hippies' business! None of their business, I tell you! None! Then want to take away my freedom, and turn this fine country into a police state, but I won't let them. The liberal bastards haven't taken my guns away yet. Let them try, I say. Let them try.
