I found this article to be interesting because it talks of "opto-electric chips" being the next revolution in the semiconductor industry and knowing what I know about POET, but this author seems to really try to sell his audience on silicon chips and Intel. There seems to be an urgency in his message. IMO.
Check it out for yourself and see what you think.
