IBM Creates Ring Oscillator on a Single Nanotube
deeptrace writes "IBM has combined CMOS circuitry and a single carbon nanotube to implement a 5 stage ring oscillator. Even though the oscillator runs at just 52 MHz, they expect that it could reach the GHz range with improvements. The frequency of the current oscillator was higher than previous circuits using multiple nanotubes. IBM describes the achievement in the paper "Integrated Logic Circuit Assembled on a Single Carbon Nanotube" to be published this week in the journal Science."
Now let's talk about REAL innovation. Microsoft just announced a new facial feature pack for Office's "Clippy." Now you can customize Clippy according to your facial preferences. Options include complexion, hair style, nose shape and size, and ear/nose jewelry.
I had some imprevements for breakfast; they were a bit stale, so they tasted xor.
Microsoft announced today that they have achieved a full annoyance oscillator and generator on a single virtual piece of bent metal.
The findings titled "How to make Clippy more annoying" will be published next week in the Mr. Ballmer's Journal of IBM Bashing
In between positive and negative there is zero.
Congratulations - you just qualified as a Slashdot editor !
a ring Oscillator!
On a Single Nanotube!
crap all mighty!!!
They're just showing off.
It's nothing but a token ring.

...at the IBM labs Oh yeah! Nanotech really turns the hot chicks on
If you're considerring using carbon nanotubes as a sex toy...you've got a problem. A very, very small problem, in fact.
GENERATION 26: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.
against ring osculation. It's disgusting and vulgar. What's wrong with just holding hands, or kissing on the lips? Miss O'Tube should be ashamed of herself. With a reputation like that, she's going to stay single. Back to you, Cheddar.
