IBM demonstrated last week a microprocessor prototype that is 1000 times faster than the current generation. 10E24 flop/sec instead of the current "low" value of 10E21. (I better don't write it out with all those zeros. )
Data is transferred simultaneously at different wavelengths. So when you want to buy a new computer, better wait a bit until the new one is out. The first working version is planned for 2020. Probably a bit expensive though, but that would bring playing Oolite to a new level...
Yeah! I've been following this work with considerable interest. Also the new development of ultra-miniature battery cells
The whole field of nanotechnology seems to be blossoming currently, it will interesting to see the time scales that emerge in turning the ideas into everyday usage.

Yeh, the nano-battery thing is looking pretty good...
