Could HP Beat Moore's Law?

John H. Doe writes "A number type of nano-scale architecture developed in the research labs of Hewlett-Packard could beat Moore's Law and advance the progress of of microprocessor development three generations in one hit. The new architecture uses a design technique that will enable chip makers to pack eight times as many transistors as is currently possible on a standard 45nm field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip.""

    HP has research labs? Honestly, I thought they were an ink company. Damn, and I was getting quite used to mocking their "Invent" logo.

    Maybe HP should focuse on beating the illegal wiretapping case before they break another law? They're not Microsoft, you know.

    Then how come Epson hasn't found a cure for cancer, solved world hunger, and figured out how to bring peace to the world? God knows they charge enough for ink to do all of that in a fiscal year (well, at least 2 out of 3, and the last one probably involves nuking from orbit, just to be sure).
