TMJ-RAM in the NYTimes at: nytimes.com This is tunneling magnetic junction random access memory and seems to be a competitor of our OUM. Lots of superlatives which are equally applicable to our memory: "I.B.M. researchers said last week that they had designed the building blocks of a new kind of computer memory that could fundamentally alter computer design early in the next century. Chips based on this new technology, known as tunneling magnetic junction random access memory, or tmj-ram for short, would be ultrafast, consume very little power and retain stored data when a computer was shut down. " Seems to still only be a binary memory (1's or 0's) and is stated to be six times faster than RAM. Article also cites IBM, Honeywell, Hewlett Packard, and Motorola as working in the field. May Tyler land us one of those fish (or all four?) I have emailed this URL to Tyler and asked him to post any response on the Ovonic website. This is complicated enough big stakes stuff that we ought to clarify it for all to see.

DIVX in the NYTimes at: nytimes.com (I shall get you fellows reading the print edition of the Times yet....) Basically the article says that DIVX has caused a massive crater in Circuit City's income statement. They are in it to the tune of $200mm. Students of Acronym Soup like Tom Hoff and Don Devlin will need to explain the ins and outs of DIVX to us in a refresher course. This layman views it as a betamax VHS struggle which is slowing down the adoption of pure DVD. I seem to remember that we don't get royalties on DIVX? That the players are not completely compatible?
