Single-Atom Transistor: Good or Bad News for Moore’s Law?

Researchers at Australia’s University of New South Wales haven’t written an obituary for Moore’s Law, but they may have better envisioned its end than have any other scientists thus far. Their recently revealed single-atom transistor could foreshadow the smallest possible process technolog[...]

Cloud Transition Challenges: Getting a Grip on the IT Future

February 15th, 2012

Every day at least 50 whitepapers, 10 ads and untold emails proclaim that moving to the cloud will solve all your IT problems. Once everything is virtualized, you’ll have no physical equipment to worry about, and the cloud will do everything and manage itself! Of course, this is not exactly the case.
