Talk about pulling things out of the air, imagine my delight and surprise this morning when I discovered: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. . . . said on Friday it made a breakthrough in semiconductor technology that can boost chip speeds by as much as 35 percent, while also reducing power requirements." The breakthrough involves a process for stretching ("straining") silicon atoms to enhance conductivity. That's the kind of materials technology breakthrough that might reduce the need for heavy cpu cooling fans.
I haven't had a chance to look at the two posted sites but will at the first opportunity. I find both interesting.
