Sun chips away at wireless chip connections It will take a lot of work, but Sun Microsystems says it is making headway on a technology that will allow chips to communicate without circuit boards or wires. The technology, called "proximity communication," aims to let one chip transmit signals directly to another next to it, instead of through the tangle of pins, wires and circuit boards employed today. If successful, the technique could greatly alter many aspects of computer design. The technology is an integral part of a supercomputer Sun is creating for a supercomputer bake-off sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The government agency wants to see U.S. manufacturers establish a new generation of supercomputers by 2010. news.com.com

TYpical South Korean Chibol BS. Remember when Micron was about to buy this broke company and they wouldn't forgive any debt. Debt incurred selling DRAM below cost for the sake of market share. These jerks are the antiChrist to the rational ,controlled CAPEX going on right now. It is idiots like these that make the trough so bloody - it would be good to saddle them with a nice tarriff and maybe their pricing would realistic (while still a loser). Not a fan of Hynix. Bob
