First Ever Nanotube Transistors On A Circuit
btsdev writes "Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University have developed the first ever integrated silicon circuit with nanotube technology. According to the article on UC Berkeley's site, this brings researchers one step closer to developing memory chips with carbon nanotubes - chips that could hold approximately 10,000 times more data than those we have today."
I guess this means the Ferengi do not have to abduct Seven of Nine after all.

Let's see.
1. I'd like to see a bewolf cluster of these.
2. How long until it runs linux?
3.
I think that covers it all. You may proceed.
Feel free to contribute.

Not that I can see why anyone would ever need more than 640 TB anyways. Except people still using MS Windows and MS Office, of course. Sheesh!
Ooops, wrong timeline. 'Scuse me while I duck back, er... forwards, to 2014 again.
And remember kids: Never trust a computer you can actually lift.
You could make a supercomputer the size of your current computer tower
But... but.. Steve Jobs said my current computer tower is a supercomputer!

I'll pass on the Kray Suppository, thank you.

1: Vastly more memory at much cheaper prices.
-or-
2: Such draconian DRM/DMCA/**AA lawsuits/Product Activation woes/SCO lawsuits/stupid Congressional actions and the like such that there is nothing left to put in said memory.

Just thought I'd point out that CNT makes a horrible acronym. No wonder materials engineers can't get dates, going on about all the really tight CNTs they're growing in the lab...
