Since you asked -

I posted this link a while back since the cut and paste didn't scale for easy reading - but really got no feed back. I would be curious to get your and Fj's feedback re:

This seems to be HP's answer to what POET is trying to achieve - orders of magnitude faster speed and orders of magnitude less power consumption - extending Moore's law?

I am tech ignorant, but here is a mutlibillion dollar company, investing millions into their next big thing, with a stable full of engineers to compete with the eight (talented) scientists atUConn - with an internal market for their chip once it's developed.

Even if POET beats them to a mass produceable product by a year or two, given your marketing background, do you really think HP will let it happen(think who killed the electric car, betamax vs VHS, etc.)

Thanks (p.s. still holding a core position)
