The Arrival of Very Small Memory

Roland Piquepaille writes "After the ages of DRAM and SRAM memories, is this time for nanotech memories? ExtremeTech says that "molecular memories" as well as memories based on carbon nanotubes are emerging. With these nanotech memories, several startup companies are envisioning future chips mixing logic, memory and reconfigurable computing elements. One of these promising startups is ZettaCore, which has built a prototype of a molecular memory designed to replace both SRAM and DRAM kinds of memories. These molecules, which are about 1 nanometer in size, are also self-assembling, meaning that they can be manufactured with existing equipment used in the semiconductor industry. This overview contains more details about the technology and includes a diagram of these molecules in a memory array."

    I sent this to their webmaster:

    I find it somewhat humorous that on this page:
    http://www.microsoft.com/seminar/events/security.m spx

    the photo you use is that of a Macintosh PowerBook G4 15" (with the Apple logo on the back of the screen Photoshop-ed out), on a page about security summits and programs. While I don't want to get into a pissing contest about which OS is more secure, it's mildly humorous to find a Mac being used to advertise Microsoft's security, even if it is subtle.

    Respectfully,

    I'll try and keep an eye on it and see if they decide to change the photo.....

    Dear dear, mookore, did I hit a nerve ?

    Hmm. Armies of zombie moderators huh? (Looks around), I don't see any nearby. Perhaps they're over by the grassy knoll. As for being a 'fucking bastard', well, the former I'm quite keen on, and the latter was an accident at birth. I deny the 'known troll' though, and (I assume you mean 'plagiarist'), methinks the mookore doth protest overmuch...

    As for the 'Lying scumbag' moniker I laid upon you, let everyone decide for themselves (cf: plagiarist)...

    You've got it all wrong. Geek and Jock thinking is inversely proportional.

    For example, for a jock, the bigger the car, the smaller the penis, while for a geek, the smaller the memory, the bigger the.. umm ego?
