1. Comment - IBM creates 'racetrack memory' for faster and cheaper storage

   (Apr 14, 2008 - 6:02 PM)

   Reads as being highly experimental and extremely specialized. Of course it may lead (or point) to something that's more viable for general purpose computing.
   It just makes sense to stop trying to cram as many on/off light switches in as small a place as possible when you can add dimmers to those switches, thus making more possible states. I don't know exactly how feasible it is... (Waves/frequency? Speed? {scratch that one, that's stupid} Degrees of spin?) but matter and energy exhibit variables that consist of more than just binary states.
   But I'm no physicist and I'm sure considerably more capable minds than my own have considered these and far more esoteric possibilities.
   (Okay, I just wanted to ramble on for awhile and pretend like I know what I'm talking about... ~grin~)

   3D mem. was pretty much a given but the racing aspect sounds kinda interesting. I'm just waiting for them to get more than a binary result from an electron.
