Re: [FRIAM] Seagate has a 60TB solid state drive now | TechCrunch
brings back memories from when I had the pleasure of hearing Feynman's "Plenty of Room at the Bottom" talk at LANL... 1983 I think... turned us on to Drexler's work before it was published as "Engines of Creation". We DO live in interesting times!

I love this: The advent of devices based on single dopants, such as the single-atom transistor, the single-spin magnetometer and the single-atom memory, has motivated the quest for strategies that permit the control of matter with atomic precision. kinda sez it all!

Re: [FRIAM] credibility by association
I mentioned this article at (physical) Friam. It's about the place of behaviorism in modern psychology.
