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."
FOX News has been using this technology for years to store the text that is then fed to their teleprompters and news scroller.
I once shot a man in Reno 'cause they cancelled Firefly.
With bits that small, there's plenty of room for parity bits.

OK, now I know this can be painful. Try following the link in the story above. I'm not going to actually include a copy since the original one works so well. (HINT: it the link with the words 'Moore's law' in it) Next lesson, finding one's ass with both hands
You slashdotted the wikipedia! It's down! Oh the humanity!
Since every electron has a pair somewhere in the universe whose spin will change when the electron in the computing device changes, how long will it be before someone playing DOOM XI unintentionally causes the navigation systems aboard the Narthon flagship to fail, leading to it inadvertantly straying into Drakoid space, setting off an interstellar conflict that eventually leads to the destruction of all life in our galaxy?
You don't need wikipedia. Spintronics is the same thing as electronics, except it deals with, um, spintrons.
I thought Microsoft and W had already perfected Spintronics.
