Problems of the parallel computing world!
New technologies, such as spintronics (which uses the spin direction of a single electron to encode data) and quantum (or tunneling) transistors, may ultimately allow computers to run many times faster than they do now, while using much less power. But those technologies are at least a decade away from reaching the market, and they would require the replacement of semiconductor manufacturing lines that have cost many tens of billions of dollars to build.

Venture Capitalism!
Here's a good presentation which tells us a lot about it!
Some of the qualities any VC will look at!
Integrity
Passion
Experience
Knowledge - market area
Skills - marketing technicals sales
Leadership -
Commitment - Walk the distance, courageous, vision, resolve, positive, friendly flexible likes to learn stuff
Company Logo
Business Overview
Management Team
Market competition
Barriers to entry
Financial Overview
User of proceeds
Capital evaluation
Always use presenter mode / ovation as presenter tools.
Always use remote control
Handouts are not your presentation - prepare a sparate more detailed detail sheet
Don't use your hands while making a presentation to reach out to a computer
Don't look at the screen

Season of platforms!
This is the season of platforms. Facebook has one. So does Bebo and MySpace. Google too has a platform, as does Adobe, and Amazon, not to mention Sun's Java..

The Photon based switch!
The Photon based switch is here..
Now you will store your information as Qubits ;) Quantum computers will rely on the fact that photons and other extremely tiny particles can inhabit two states at the same time. While single photons can be manipulated easily and extremely rapidly, researchers worked for years to get them to interact -- a crucial achievement in creating workable logic gates

The 10 Emerging Technologies of 2008
A very good one. Two of the technologies--cellulolytic enzymes and atomic magnetometers--are efforts by leading scientists to solve critical problems, while five--surprise modeling, connectomics, probabilistic CMOS, reality mining, and offline Web applications--represent whole new ways of looking at problems. And three--graphene transistors, nanoradio, and wireless power--are amazing feats of engineering that have created something entirely new.

Just some interesting stats
Indian economy overall has about 36% savings - households have an average of 28% savings and 6% is corporate savings - Half of the household savings about 14% of the Trillion dollar economy gets pumped into real estate and the other half into material investments!

Challanges of Hexaflop Supercomputer!
Challanges of Hexaflop Supercomputer!
there's the issue of reliability, which tends to decline as the parts
count increases. Given that an exascale computer might have a million
hundred-core processors, Dosanjh speculated that such a machine might
run for 10 minutes before suffering a failure. To manage a machine with
so many parts, new fault-tolerance schemes need to be developed.
