LASER CHIPS!

John Moe Jul 27, 2010

Not from Frito-Lay, tragically, but from Intel. They say they’ve built a new chip that uses lasers instead of electronic signals and it can download a high-def movie in one second. As someone who spent days trying to load Inglourious Basterds on an iPad, I welcome this technology.
