FranticIndustries: Review of "Joost" beta (Venice Project)
I’ve got a 100 KB download connection - definitely not the fastest in the world - and the videos did stutter, but rarely. This was my biggest concern, and I can say that Joost passed this test, although not with a perfect grade - I expect further improvements in this department in the future. The actual quality of the videos varied quite a bit, but it was definitely much better than anything on YouTube or Google Video. Overally, I’d call it a compromise: it’s just barely good enough for full screen, but not any better than that. This said, the quality probably improves with the speed of your connection.

While entertainment isn't usually our foray, Joost - formerly known as the Venice Project - is likely to be a major bandwidth hog on business networks if left unchecked.

ITWire: HP beats Moore's Law with new chip architecture
A number type of nano-scale architecture developed in the research labs of Hewlett-Packard could beat Moore's Law and advance the progress of of microprocessor development three generations in one hit. The new architecture uses a design technique that will enable chip makers to pack eight times as many transistors as is currently possible on a standard 45nm field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip.

I don't know if Moore's Law is still applicable as an axiom - true, while computing power has continued it's upward trend, it's mostly because we've added more processing cores to CPU chips, not because we've added more clock cycles.
