Actually, they just did. I saw an announcement on CNN claiming that Intel
has invented new resistors that will run "thousands" of times faster than
current models. However, the report said not to look for the new technology
until after 2007. I wonder if predictions that far out in such a rapidly
changing industry really means anything at all.
