Well put. Is everything that's written on paper called a novel? There is a clear difference between the content and the media upon which the content resides.
I'm curious to know if the court has made this distinction. Not all DVDs contain movies/films. Not all movies/films are stored on DVDs.
14 dB of gain won't help you recover your feed line losses. Sure, it'll amplify your signal, but it will also amplify the noise introduced into the signal by running it though a wire.
Simply put, no amount of data processing can increase the amount of information in a signal.
I admit that it's a really cool idea, but how much torque would you be able to generate with the sphere? As far as I know, most electric motors rely upon intense magnetic fields concentrated closely about an axial rod. With the use of these 16 electromagnets that are a considerable distance from the permanent magnets in the sphere, I can't see someone being able to exert too much force.
I'm assuming that IBM would be tailoring this process towards MOS technology. Sure, they can make the channel length in a MOSFET really small, but wouldn't this introduce a lot of problems with the existing MOS model? One of the biggest problems with MOS technology is scaling dimensions down causes rampant power loss (due to leakage currents) and dominating electric field effects that can totally destroy transistor operation. You can't just go from 0.13 micron to 0.01 micron with the same basic structure and expect the same type of operation. Is there a new kind of transistor technology being proposed?

I agree. I think that it'd be a lot better (a.k.a. funnier) if they had a japaneese voice-over in, say, the style of Captain Kirk (with subtitles).
