This story was pointed out by a reader with the caveat, “We do our own erasing. Who needs the scientists?” Its so off-topic as to be off-color, and doesnt relate to Memory but to Memories, but its just too interesting to pass up, and humor is important lately (read: financial meltdown, credit default derivatives, etc […]
Its being reported in the nytimes that Toshiba is buying 1 billion US of equipment from California-based SanDisk, in part helping to harden SanDisks baseline fundamentals against the takeover bid by Samsung. Samsung is currently ranked no. 1 in the memorychip maker market, while Toshiba holds the number 2 spot. SanDisk holds a variety of […]
A busy couple of weeks in the memory technology sector: The Internet of Things gets industry boost from the IPSO Alliance : “We are bringing together companies across the globe with the objective of using IP to interconnect physical objects with the global Internet. Through our Technical Advisory Board we will document, demonstrate and teach […]
Transmeta, first adopters in the low-power processor field but now primarily licensors of their intellectual property and patents, has begun a discovery process relating to a potential sale of the company. This comes on the heels of an agreement reached between Transmeta and Intel over intellectual property and patents which consists of Intel making a one-time […]
A recent article in the NYTIMES details the new market battleground between ARM designs, which are licensed by such Intel competitors as Qualcomm and Nvidia,3 and intels ATOM processor line. It renews the debate over whether a race to ultra low power mobile internet devices can replace a whole range of consumer uses for mid-size […]
The recent news from HP labs has created a stir amongst indie reporters in the blogosphere. Popularizing science is always a double edged sword but there are some interesting responses. Over at Make, the ultrahip DIY electronics resource for hobbyists, they wonder when they will be in stock. Slashdot seems to go off on the […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
