Beyond Flash Storage

Flash successor announced | ZDNet

Interesting. My Macbook Pro uses flash hard drive. It's much faster than a conventional HD, and uses less power. This new tech is faster yet, and uses even less power?

Every time I see the phrase ReRam I am going to think of Rerun...

memrister has a little better outlook as far as ReRAM goes, little less power.

For those of engineer types here resistor memory in Ohms law format:



"linear relationship between current and voltage"

I'm more of a holographic memory backer, but this might be a good consumer transition technology like sdram is.

system on a chip is what they are chasing. system on a chip should bring about a revolution in computing. imagine, no local machines, you just carry around a dongle, plug it in to a screen/keyboard/mouse, and have your entire system there ...

Cloud computing? Forget it. I'm inherently not that trusting.

Right!

also potentially cheaper - may see it by 2016

holo makes me think data center, but as one of the first guys to stick a (5 Mbyte) HDD on a PC, maybe for personal devices later

I need computing power when not under a cloud - been that way for decades - so my interest is not for the cloud.

Cloud = NSA

Not chasing, they are pretty much there.
