I don't know if this is bullshit or not, but it sounds pretty amazing.
A company called "Star Bridge Systems" is claiming they can have $1000
computers in 18 months which are 60000 times faster than a PII-350:

That would put us about where moore's law would have us in 20 years, but in
18 months instead.
If their claims are true, the singularity could be a lot closer than we've
imagined....
I'll believe it when I see it...
