ISRAELI DAILY Ha'Aretz said that an optical transmission scheme prototyped by CTO Pat Gelsinger at various of its forums in the past year is close to delivering huge frequency hits.

According to the newspaper, Intel Israel technicians have almost mastered the ability to meld optics and electronics meaning that faster computers are within sight of the techies.

The paper quotes Amir Elstein, joint CEO of Intel Israel, as saying that when everything is matched up, switches will be able to operate at 1GHz, leading to vastly faster computational capabilities.

According to an Intel press release, the Internet "will run faster".

You will recall that this was one of the features that Intel said the Pentium III would herald.

The Ha'Aretz story is to be found here. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
