- Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists
- A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...

- Moore's Law of Software is the key to the cloud
- Shared endeavor is what connects cloud computing to open source. The same force that drives open source forward, developers sharing and improving tools, also drives the cloud, Urquhart writes. It's a brilliant insight. by Dana Blankenhorn

- Moore's law of training and the Obama health plan
- What the President needs to understand about all this is it's his successors who will benefit from the investments he is making. Do not plan any big gains in productivity or outcomes from today's stimulus, even should you serve two terms in office. by Dana Blankenhorn

- Moore's second law and software
- Open source is the best tool yet developed for fighting this Moore's Second Law impact on software. By working together, by looking at one another's code, by transferring it instantly online, we are creating shared productivity that did not exist before. It's a shared monopoly, a software chip foundry. by...

- Moore's Law and open source
- Because there is no Moore's Law of Software, and because Moore's Second Law makes devices increasingly complex, it's becoming just as hard to keep software proprietary as to own your own chip fabrication plant. by Dana Blankenhorn
