Well, this is some news I've been wanting to share for a while, but I've had to wait until everything was ready.  During the summer, I spoke at RubyConf*MI, one of the first regional Ruby Conferences (I think San Diego held the only one earlier than the Michigan folks).  At the time, they filmed all the presentations.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Engineers Lan Lee and Yuefei Ge had drafted a business plan that they promised would roil the U.S. microchip industry. Using blueprints they allegedly stole from their Silicon Valley employer, the men proposed to reproduce a super-fast chip in China at a much lower cost.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area, the world's technology hub, is starting to buzz again for the first time since the dot-com bust. The Valley's infamous start-up community is coming back, thanks to start-ups like digital media firm Dabble and its contemporaries.

Solar fans will be happy to see (as mentioned in the latest post from Paul Jones) that all of the previous (and future) posts he's been making as tutorials on certain parts of the framework have been integrated into the Solar manual.   The translation went pretty quickly, because I wrote the original blog entries using Solar_Markdown, which converted them to HTML for the blog. Then I did some quick edits and re-converted them using Solar_Markdown_Wiki (which is the markup format for all the class API and manual entries at the Solar website).   Posts adapted so far include the posts covering views and layouts, using HTTP and sending email from Solar.

Semiconductor chips that can manage a good bit of their own upkeep are moving closer to reality.

Gabe: We did a really awesome project (can I say it"s awesome, is that okay?) for Wired magazine. You can either go pick up the most recent issue and read it there or check it out on their site. They asked us to do a piece for them handicapping all three of the next generation systems. We tried to be as fair as we could and hopefully you"ll get a kick out of it.

(InfoWorld) - The former engineering major in me got a nice surprise Tuesday afternoon when Intel's Gordon Moore (that's right, the guy behind The Law) spoke at the Intel Developer Forum Tuesday. Tech Nation's Moira Gunn hosted an hour-long conversation with Moore, and while I'm not usually one to go all weak-kneed at the sight of tech-industry giants, I have to admit that the father of Moore's Law got me going. Moore shared his thoughts on more than 40 years in the semiconductor industry and really helped bring into focus exactly how far we've come. The entire conversation will be available as a webcast shortly, but here are a few of my favorite tidbits: * On what the world would look like today if the integrated circuits Moore helped develop hadn't taken off, and computers were still built from individual transistors and components: There was an early projection by one of the few companies making transistors that eventually they could get the cost of a transistor down to 68 cents. Well, the IC did take off, and "today you buy them for 10 picobucks!" * Intel wasn't close to the first choice as a name for the company. It was initially called Moore-Noyce Electronics and a nice punny little name they used to initially incorporate the firm, but they ran through five or six candidates for a real name before they got Intel cleared as a trademark. Apparently it used to be standard procedure to clear such names in New York and California and assume that that got you the rest of the U.S. Of course, Moore said, "Then we ended up having to buy 'Intel' from a hotel company in the Midwest." Score one for the flyover states. * On innovation in general: "The most exciting things are usually in the interfaces, and there's lots of exciting stuff going on [now] in the interface between computers and biology." * Finally, what was Moore excited about for the next decades of technology? "We're going to get to the point where computers have really good language recognition ... where you interact with your computer the way you interact with your colleagues." Gordon, I can't wait.

A half century after transistors were first integrated onto silicon chips, the technology for shrinking them appears to be reaching its limit. Without the regular, dramatic performance improvements we've come to expect, the computer industry may hit a wall.
