I completely understand that costs are a huge factor limiting competition but companies that own monopolies on the actual network infrastructure have little incentive to upgrade or enhance user experience with out major competition. Ideally...

- Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists
- Yeah, they have been saying this same thing for years....and everytime, they find a way to make computers even faster. I don't think that they will EVER reach a limit for computer power. Not ever.FacinatingI always knew there would be a wall somewhere, but what will be needed with that...

- 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...

- Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
- Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...
