One team has made tiny transistors – the building block of computer processors – a fraction of the size of those used on advanced silicon chips. Another has made a film material capable of storing data from 250 DVDs onto a surface the size of a coin.

Both advances, published on Thursday in the journal Science, use nanotechnology – the design and manipulation of materials thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair For more information go to Nano Electronics

Bytes, not bits. Oh, and it’s fast, too. Nanochip, a Silicon Valley-based fabless semiconductor firm, just received $14 million in funding to complete work on a 100 GB storage chip. Intel Capital, who should know something about chips, is an investor. The goal: “. . . allow Nanochip to complete development of its first prototypes later this year . . . .”

Predicting that in 2019 we will have the million core processor, you need to use a language capable of parallel processing. Erlang is one. And it is free and here is where to get the open-source downloads. Currently, the language is in a growth stage and has limited graphic tools and no GUI interface as the developers are more concerned with performance but as it continues to be develop, graphic tools will slowly be added on. If you have more questions see the FAQ section. A taste of a future language and getting started with a language tutorial.

In order ro make your Website articles or Blog content easier to find a new series of servives have emerged on the web. The term Tag Cloud or Tag Services are applied to these new features. With so many Blogs or content Web sites appearing, no longer was it possible to assume Search Engines could possibly list or rate the wide vatiety of subjects that would be covered in single location. A new tecnology was necessary.

The TAG or Lable service was created. These services are currently free but as the as the market matures and TAG servers specialize a fee service will probably be coupled to you having to accept some advertising.

There are a host of different TAGs that being using at various web locations. Below is a a couple of samples that you might see on a Web site, Blog and PodCasts:

Tags:      javascript looping for do foreach exit keywords loops iteration repetition condition
Tags:      artist illustrator designer keywords oil painting pastels
Add To:   Digg This! Stumble It Add to del.icio.us Sphere It Subscribe To Feed

Below are some sites that are offering these services:
ZoomClouds
Technorati
Microsoft

Some of the tag rules and considerations when creating your own tags

One of the best known approaches to the development of cognitive agents is the BDI (Beliefs-Desires-Intentions) architecture. In the area of agent-oriented programming languages in particular, AgentSpeak(L) has been one of the most influential abstract languages based on the BDI architecture. The type of agents specified with AgentSpeak(L) are sometimes referred to as reactive planning systems. To the best of our knowledge, Jason is the first fully-fledged interpreter for a much improved version of AgentSpeak, including also speech-act based inter-agent communication....

Maybe you do not remember the time when a 2 MGBit LAN card, sold by Gateway or 3Com, for $665.00 (about $2000.00 in todays money) was the fastest NIC connection avaliable. Things have moved on since then and here is a experimental super connection. Now we all want cards using the following technology in our shop.
