Does this mean a new & improved version of “Pong” is coming soon?

That’s got a better chance than a user friendly and intuitive lotus notes.

What comes after nanometer on the scale of small? That’s where we’re headed.

What would be a breakthrough at IBM is them finding some way to majorly cut back on offshoring.

This achievement is pretty close to the ultimate miniaturization possible. Three gold atoms lined up are about one nano meter long.

The one that started it all in 1971. The first commerically available microprocessor. The 4-bit Intel 4004. Running at a blistering clock speed of 740khz.
Invented by 3 evil white guys.

Picometers (pm) is next. But the diameter of a silicon atom is around 200 pm, which is 0.2 nanometers. I don’t think they can get smaller than that.
To: Lurkina.n.Learnin
Angstrom is one-tenth of a nanometer.
There’s a couple even smaller I don’t remember.
Visible light waves start at 400 nanometers.

You’ll have to believe in it before it works.

5 nm?
Revenge of the nerds.

Sad part is - if software was written properly it wouldn’t need much more than that.
