It will only be a matter of time until we have computers in our assholes that analyze our shit.

Really looking forward to this stuff. I heard about it a while back but it seems they're really making leaps and bounds with the technology.

It's a room-temperature ballistic conductor. Think superconductor without the cooper pairs, it's a pretty awesome material.

HVD? That uses some kind of polymer.

That is the worst example of cyberpunk I have ever seen. Where did you find that?

I hope this changes computer design forever. I mean, PCs are still essentially the same as they were when the IBM PC was invented. That was well over 20 years ago.
Also, here I was thinking "Wow my new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400" is going to be so cool!" Things change fast.

It was mentioned before in a rather unfunny webcomic that, to be honest, I don't know why I still have bookmarked.
But this is awesome. That chip is small.

I read an article in Popular Science that had a step-by-step guide on how to create Graphene. Pretty neat although I never tried it.

That would actually be really useful for diagnostic purposes.
Who would have thought that a material previously considered so mundane and all one day allow for such a huge technological leap? I make the following predictions:
Graphite will come to be synonymous in people's minds with information. The name of the material will be a reality more than a moniker.
Computers will eventually be able to support a graphite store that they can use both to augment their circuitry and to write with using a hand peripheral, like a pen filled with pencil lead.

Hmmm. You'd think that with transistors so incredibly small, even the smallest magnetic interference will fuck with it. How do they work around that?
