"Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees has a chorus that is 24 seconds long, and ALSO doubles as the cadence for doing CPR massage. One song, two vital health uses!

Just noticed @AMD didn't include GPU information in their TR3/3950X/3000G launch deck. Not good guys, don't do that again.

Jack Kilby described his invention of the Integrated Circuit as the result of being on a team that wasn't good at anything besides making silicon wafers. So he figured out how to put capacitors and resistors on a silicon wafer alongside the transistors.

NP, thanks for asking. It is much more akin to triangulating a signal than someone giving you a PDF. There is a lot of analysis that goes in to even a single point of news. You probably noticed I rarely say source and almost always say sources.

An interesting poll
There are rumours that Intel has stopped their work on 10nm. A possible reason is that 10nm is dead on arrival as the competition is already on 7nm or below. Rumour or not, *should* Intel skip 10nm to remain competitive?

Has anyone stopped to consider that Intel keeping 10nm is bad news?
