I read the same article, too. And surprised to find any other news sources reported that news I encountered: It wasn't mentioned in CNN's Science & Technology Week and its periodical news updates, not on San Francisco Chronicle (this one I'm not sure) and other massmedia. To bigger surprise, I coundn't find it on comp.arch, comp.lsi and other newsgroups. I want more info so I excerpted this artice to other newsgroup (I intended to do so but there was a post already). Follow-up is comp.arch so please give us more info/flame/et al. Dan Kogai (dankg@ocf.berkeley.edu)
