    Actually it is really vaporware. One of the techniques used to make the sythetic diamond is vapor depositation.

  2. Doesn't Wired Have Their Own Website? by The_egghead · · Score: 0, Redundant


    So I know that Slashdot is just a collection of links to other places, but really, does _every_ story from Wired have to be posted here? Granted this was a little better because it was posted in some proximity to the magazine being published, but don't most of us get Wired? At the very least, can we have a new category for "Wired Repost" so that those of us who do subscribe can filter it out??

  3. Wired articles are totally gay. Good link included by nxs212 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just like NY Times, Wired tends to fatten-up their articles with useless, peripheral info that most readers don't care about. Do we really need to know that they drove a Saab to the secret base/lab? Too much info about Diamond High Council and DeBeers testing machines.
    The article does not mention WHY cultered diamonds are every color except crystal-clear. DeBeers corp peddles clear diamonds as superior or better when they are no better their yellow-tinted twins. Here's a better article that references early development, has more pictures and answers more questions even though it's from 1996.

    Just Google it and you will find tons of info.
