Stanford, IBM Team To Explore Spintronics

saxylife writes "NYTimes and various other media are carrying a story on the latest venture between IBM and Stanford," which will concentrate on spintronics, in other words, controlling "the magnetic orientation of atoms to store data. It's supposed to ease the pressure of hitting the barrier of Moore's law."

+4 Insightful? No rocket scientist here, but even I understand that this is referring to the magnetic properties of the electrons themselves, and is only incidentally related to what is traditional magnetic media.

So, unless you don't want to invest in another technology based on electrons, your comment is about as stupid as any in recent memory I've stumbled across. And on slashdot, that's saying something.
