 We're pretty clear that we'll be hearing this same story each and every year, whereby the story goes on every year for the rest of eternity, but hey, it's not like we're kvetching over that or anything like that. Once again, we're hearing that brilliant scientists have developed a breakthrough that would make Mr. Moore look remarkably smart, as a new approach to chip making could eliminate features in silicon chips "that are many times smaller than what the wavelength of the light used to make them."
As reported, the new method "produces grids of parallel lines just 25-nanometers width using light with a wavelength of 351-nanometers," even though the grids aren't functional circuits just yet. If you like to hear more in technobabble on the matter, Google this "photolithographic" and "nanotechnology." |
 Wait, did you know that Verizon actually decided it would be a fantastic idea to make official a cellphone today? Yes! You are right! -- the Chocolate 3 was announced with a Sunday purchasable date today, but for those hoping to see the new wrapper unfold a few days earlier, today's your lucky day.
The watchdogs over at Laptop were able to get their hands on the new flip and test it out ever-so-briefly, and while first impressions seemed rather good, we reckon it's the photos you're really going after. Dig into the read link for the full gallery. |
 Word is on the street that the new iPhone 3G is really the hottest product to hit the shelves, reveling in the afterglow of yesterday's purchase, repeatedly opening Maps on your shinny new iPhone 3G and watching in exaggerated little gadget as your location is determined at frightening speed and dead accuracy.
Others might be lining up in a line snaking hundreds of bodies long into your nearby local Apple Store, reading this post from the comfort of your 3G mobile phone and realizing that these are some of the last periods you'll be using a physical keypad. Still others are feeling that the entire fuss is artificially hyped up -- but whatever your stance on the new 3G phone, it's pretty hard to ignore the publicity that's floating around in the aftermath of day zero. |
