End of Moore's law
Seems that scaling down what is the essence of Moore's law is dead. At least for NAND until emerge of EUV who know when. End don't forget BAD HARDWARE WEEK was first as always, when bad news are in sight.

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Do you see anything in 14nm in the map above in 2014?
In the end you will get a chip that looks like it was built on a 22nm process, is sized like it was built on a 20nm process, but has the dynamic range and power consumption of a 14nm chip. Predicted at BAD HARDWARE WEEK long time ago. Oh yeah, what about chip area scaling? Between a 7% and 15% shrink, thanks to the poly and contact pitch work.

End of Moore's law is at 14 nm
3D is the next step. But not in 14nm. Probably in 45nm. At least for flash NAND chips.

Intel's Atom is actually downclocked Netburst architecture
Z2780 can boost up to 2GHz. Future pipeline extensions could bring it close to 30 stages and close to 4 GHz clock. Yeah they would be called turbo mode, in this deja vue only new is actually perverted terminology. New are only C energy saving modes. Netburst hadn't any.

There is no 32nm node at Intel
In the end, there was no magic, Intel did the obvious and made the
transistors different lengths. There are two things to note in the table
above, gate pitch and gate length. Compare and contrast that to the Vt
and it becomes pretty clear that length is the overriding factor for Vt
control in Intel 22nm transistors. Pitch also varies quite a bit, but
you need to make structures thicker if you run more energy through them,
and pitch is where it plays out. Pitch is now equal 3 times the gate length. What use of gate scaling ?

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Each design is optimized. In the end, gate pitch decide on overall device performance.

Intel's low power debacle
Intel apparently used screenshots from ARM's Developer Studio 5 (DS-5) in its recent Silvermont microarchitecture presentation.

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: I like so much Intel's future transition from 14nm to 14nm. Just as found at BAD HARDWARE WEEK. Beside this Silvermont freshes from ARM, hardly to see others.

Moore's law is dead !
Intel's Haswell gives 9% more performance after 9% more power. No any scaling.
The days of the Celeron 300A aren't coming back. Hahahhahahhahahhaah. Intel's Integrated VR would boost up to 400A so Haswell is actually latest contribution to global warming !

That qualifies it for NATO's
closed messaging system, and the French military has shown TrustedBird
to NATO, military officials said.
Some observers said the original decision to go to open source was in part to show the French public that the government was trying to save money. But many software experts say free software also has its costs and the French acknowledged that.
"It is never completely free," said Col. Bruno Poirier-Coutansais of the information technology team Gendarmerie Nationale.

Intel's radical architecture departure
PC Watch thinks that in second iteration Haswell will offer radical architecture departure likely to IBM Cell architecture, though it is already a lot in. Involving 32MB of eDRAM L3 will boost graphics performance, but multicore up to 18 cores too. It should be located in the middle around xbar switch

Bring at work your own device
Gartner Predicts by 2017, Half of Employers will Require Employees to Supply Their Own Device for Work Purposes
Gartner defines a BYOD strategy as an alternative strategy that allows employees, business partners and other users to use a personally selected and purchased client device to execute enterprise applications and access data. It typically spans smartphones and tablets, but the strategy may also be used for PCs. It may or may not include a subsidy.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Microsoft may never be cool or dominant again, but it stands a decent
chance of finding the keys to being a newly powerful and profitable
force in the emerging technology landscape.
The Wall Street Journal recently coined the term “tech’s rust belt” to refer to Microsoft and other laggards.

Analyzing 450 million lines of software code
For projects with more than one million lines of code, defect density decreased to .66, which suggests that proprietary projects generally experience an increase in software quality as they exceed that size.
Open source projects with between 500,000 – 1,000,000 lines of code, however, had an average defect density of .44, while that same figure increased to .75 for open source projects with more than one million lines of code, marking a decline in software quality as projects get larger.

How myth of Noe's Flood concieved
The 5165-m-high Ararat, also known as Agri Dagi, is Turkey's highest and easternmost volcano, lying near the border with Armenia. Ararat appears to have been active during the 3rd millennium BC , 2450 BC ± 50 years; pyroclastic-flow deposits overlie early Bronze Age artifacts and human remains. A phreatic eruption and pyroclastic flow may have occurred at the time of a July 1840 earthquake and landslide.

Mockingbird. Noun. Species well known for its characteristic repeating
of other bird songs in a loud and mocking fashion. Also the title of a
piece by famed rap artiste Marshall Mathers (stage name Eminem). This
work is truly deserving of the title, as it makes a mock of the genre
itself along with his previous work.
"'In fact, the UAE is exercising its sovereign right and is asking for exactly the same regulatory compliance - and with the same principles of judicial and regulatory oversight - that Blackberry grants the US and other governments and nothing more,' [UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef Al] Otaiba said.

CLEMENTE: "No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out.
BURNETT: "So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible.
CLEMENTE: "No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not."
