NORTH AMERICAN boffins have worked out a way of sticking more than 2000 words of data into a memory circuit board the size of a white blood cell.

According to the popular science mag Nature, Caltech and the UCLA have come up with what they think is the densest memory circuit board in existence.

The 160-kilobit memory cell say has a bit density of 100 gigabits per square centimetre.

Caltech chemistry professor James Heath, who led the research said it would be ages before the technology ends up in a lap top. Heath thinks it is the sort of technology that Intel will be deploying in about 2020.

Manufacturers are stuck at how to extending miniaturisation of circuits beyond the year 2013 as they have not really worked out a way of defeating Moore's Law.

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.
