How some supposedly educated and thoughtful individuals believe that this electronically manipulated beast manufactured out of thin air is somehow "real" boggles the mind.

I spend a lot of time worrying about the next tech bubble. It's my job to worry, of course, and this year, worrying became a full-time occupation.
Ever since Facebook's stock price rebounded this year to the level of its initial public offering, tech startups have seen an incredible run-up in valuations.

There will always be another ‘tech bubble’… kind of like the next housing bubble. Business cycles are like that
Tech bubble related:
I have heard through an inside source that they are having trouble producing internal RAM in computers beyond their recent highest thresholds. They seemed to have hit some obstacles. Just mentioning this in case some new technology or discoveriex in this field are reported. Might make for some good investments.
Moore’s law…. not a new concept

We/they have no idea on what new things are going to come. I think we will be amazed at new discoveries.
Watch the 3D printing revolution transform out lives
> Moore’s law…. not a new concept
Maybe so but this is recent info from an ehgineer who’s responsible for designing those chips. Just thought it might help others.
But this happens every time they try and ‘go to’ the next level… has been happening for as long as I have been in the business.
On the other hand so much of the mfg. is done in CHina these days I would be cautious as to the real reason…. the Chinese companies are known for stealing and reverse engineering all under the guise of ‘yield problems’.
Speaking of a tech bubble...
Does anyone know of an open-source software similar to microsoft office?
I’m getting a new computer with windows 7 professional installed, but that doesn’t include outlook express anymore, so no email program.
It would also be nice to have some sort of ‘word’ type program.
I believe the point of the post is that there may be a physical or technical development problem in producing the next generation chip on schedule.
Which would, in such a case, serve to invalidate Moore’s Law.
Moore himself had revised his own law once (some say twice) about 10 years after it was first introduced, and attributed to him by others, as a concept in the mid-60s. Also, Moore was simply supporting the ideas of a few other engineers of the 50s and 60s. Moore’s quotes gained popularity and thus, it became known as his law.
Google Docs is a cloud solution....But there is also Open Office.
Where would one find ‘open office’?
see my post at 9
Interesting.
Thanks!
As long as the government insists on holding down interest rates and printing money to maintain them, you're right. With a constant money supply and market-set rates, so-called business cycles [booms and busts] would disappear.
oh my you really are delusional…. business cycles have been with us since the beginning of commerce
