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.'"

    The stories are identical except you didn't have to keep clicking "next" to read the entire article on MSNBC. Nice attempt to discredit the article because of the association between Microsoft and NBC (MSNBC). I can't believe the moderators gave this troll +1, informative.

    Serving on the company's board are Pradeep Sindhu, founder, vice chairman, and chief technology officer of Juniper Networks; Dan Maydan, president of Applied Materials; T.J. Rodgers, president and CEO of Cypress Semiconductor; Alex Balkanski, a general partner at Benchmark; and Vinod Khosla, a general partner at Kleiner Perkins.

    I can't help wondering what they could have achieved in India, instead of coming to the US and helping make an already rich country richer.
