The title of this story is almost too good to be true: rebooting, gone for good?Well, this is about a new thin-film memorytechnology which has a potential to be a thousand times faster than Flash technology.
But don't expect any *real* product before three years.
In the mean time, you'll still have to reboot your system...

Can you really get a job via the Internet?It looks like it's more difficult to find a job via Internet than to post a resume.
"I have never gotten a response from an electronic jobs board. And, of all my friends who are looking, I haven't met one who got a response, either," said one unemployed Silicon Valley techie.
So keep this in mind before spending too much time at Monster.com, HotJobs.com ao any of thes job-related Web sites.

Web beats ministers in race for European bank jobIt probably has happened to you: you hit the "Send" button in your email program a little bit too fast, and your message went out unfinished or embarassing.
The same thing happened last week in Spain where someone posted on the Web the name of a top job at the European Central Bank.

Famous quotes containing the words the end and/or computer:
“Practically everyone now bemoans Western man’s sense of alienation, lack of community, and inability to find ways of organizing society for human ends. We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity—advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
