Great article ... but btw, the article didnt mention this 'consumer of bandwidth' that went offline ... are you talking about napster???

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Yeah, I was referring to Napster. Funny, could've sworn that article noted Napster's death along with all the other planets that aligned late 1999/early 2000. Ah well, a Gingko Moment to start the week... ;-)

One of the interesting applications of LEDs were in the area of pharmaceutical activation. There is a topical cancer cream which can attack skin cancer if properly applied and activated. LEDs can be designed to emit very specific wavelengths and would activate the cancer cream.

The article did show the Japanese Ginzo section of Tokyo where LEDs have replaced the incandescent bulbs that were the advertising hallmark of this area, (like the white way of Times Square!).
