toybuilder writes "A Reuters new article reports the development of the world's densest memory circuit at Caltech & UCLA. The circuit has a bit storage density of 100Gb/cm^2; about 100 times the density of today's memory circuits. Interestingly, this new design places memory cells at junctions of a tic-tac-toe-like grid of wires, somewhat reminescent of core memory of the past."

People have been calling me dense for years. But hey, they also called me a geek, so maybe they're right.

Could be the same confusion some people suffer over the term "mensa" [mensa.org]. Or is it "mensa" [spanishdict.com]?

Silicon Valley Companies Reach Singularity; Vanish (Score:1, Informative)
Maybe Ray Kurzweil and Vernor Vinge were on the money. Except, it occurs to me, if the silicon valley companies come up with a singularity, why do they have to bring the rest of humanity along? In fact, the faster they accelerate, the longer it will take to disseminate the advanced technology, until at some point it cannot disseminate fast enough. So they'll just disappear by themselves!
Incidentally, I'm not sure this is a dupe; the first article said that HP did it and this one says that now CalTech has

Actually no... most memory chips are sold in bits, kbits, mbits, etc. SRAM, DRAM, Flash, anything -- individual memory chips are mostly sold in bits. This (oddly, perhaps) includes both chips that are intended to be aggregated into RAM sticks and 16 bit wide SRAM chips intended for embedded devices. I have no idea why, but I've gone shopping for discrete memory chips before and that's largely the way it is.
Now, obviously two groups coming up with the same size and density in two days suggests a slashd

How about next time there's a dupe, you just don't comment. Let the people who have something intelligent and informative to say post. Also, not everybody might have seen it the first time.
Lighten Up.

Tough. This isn't Digg, where articles are posted to the front page multiple times (sometimes as much as a dozen times over a two week period). Slashdot hosts far less articles, but they are of generally much higher quality (than Digg).
