Array-Based Memory May Put a Terabyte On a Chip

Lucas123 writes "A new type of flash memory, called array-based memory, could offer a terabyte of data on a single chip within the next decade by bypassing current NAND memory technology, which is limited by the miniaturization capability of lithography. According to the Computerworld story, start-up Nanochip Inc. is being backed by Intel and others, and over 11 years has made research breakthroughs that will enable it to deliver working prototypes to potential manufacturing partners next year. And by 2010, the first chips are expected to reach 100GB capacity."

We on Slashdot just learned how to use a TB of ram only yesterday!

I think there is a world market for maybe five people to watch movies on a phone.

Even caterpillars have to voraciously consume large quantities of resources. At a certain saturation point, when they have all the necessary resources, they mature into a beauty of nature.

It's just harder to tell where individual humans are on the evolutionary scale.

God(Truth/Beauty) is present at every level, in the most palatable form for that level.

Unfortunately, a lot of humans never distill enough truths from their consumption to evolve to the next level (True happiness :) ).
