A chip smaller than blood cell

Imagine a memory chip roughly the size of a white blood cell. Scientists have made it a reality - they have created a miniscule memory chip about one-2000th of an inch on a side. Although the chip is modest in capacity (with 160,000 bits of information), the bits are crammed together so tightly that it is the densest ever made. The scientists, led by James R. Heath of the California Institute of Technology, reported their findings in the journal Nature.

The density of bits on the chip - about 100 billion per sq. cm - is about 40 times that of current memory chips. Improvements to the technique could increase the density by a factor of ‘10,’ said Heath.

The wires used in the chip have about the same width as proteins and that could make possible tiny circuits that could detect cancer or other diseases.

Samsung SWC-E100 ExpressCard (Sprint XOHM)

The Samsung SWC-E100, the first connection card for Sprint's new XOHM WiMAX network, is a simple device that does its job well (as long as you aren't a Mac user). The E100 is an ExpressCard, but it also comes with a PC Card adapter for older computers. At 1.3 ounces and 4.6 by 1.6 by .5 inches, it's moderately sized, and features an LED that shines red if there's a problem, yellow if it detects signal, and green if it's connected. At the end of the card, there's a thick, flip-up antenna. During testing, I found flipping it up was necessary to get the best performance. Unfortunately, the E100 doesn't feature an external antenna port, which would likely be a welcome addition for those in fringe coverage areas.

PS3 PlayTV ships 85,000 units to UK in two weeks

Freesat's 100,000 sales milestone puts things in perspective

Sony is giving itself a big pat on the back this morning as it celebrates 85,000 PlayTV units sent to retailers over the two weeks since the PS3 Freeview recorder accessory started shipping to retailers.

Although Sony does have a tendency to be a little sneaky when it comes to these kind of figures - units shipped isn't a measure of units sold by any stretch - it shows that retailers are expecting gadget fans to be all over the £70 device this Xmas.

To help put the numbers into perspective, Freesat - the UK's new-ish free-to-air satellite service featuring high definition programming as well as most of the same channels that Freeview offers - is celebrating its own milestone this morning. Freesat has now reached 100,000 unit sales, but it has taken a full five months to get there.

As our T3 review revealed, PlayTV is an excellent add-on for any PS3 console, but if you have a PSP kicking around too, well, it's time to call in favours and start blackmailing Santa to make sure one of these finds its way into your stocking.

And this got us thinking... maybe Sony should be persuaded to give a helping hand by developing a Freesat version of its PS3 tuner accessory. After all, there's a ton of unused Sky dishes out there, ready and willing to be tuned into Freesat, and the added HD would fit in nicely with the PS3's high definition capabilities. The software's already damned near perfect, so we only need the hardware. How's about it, eh?
