HP apparently have a new non-volatile memory technology to replace NAND flash and SSDs, or will in a few years. HP last year announced a deal with S. Korean chip maker Hynix to produce a next-generation non-volatile memory product. Memristor, short for memory resistor, is basically a resistor with memory. Earlier this year, HP announced that Memristors could also perform logic. Therefore the chip can work as both a processor and as storage. It could one day take the place of both mass storage devices and central processing units.

The virus, first detected nearly two weeks ago by the military’s Host-Based Security System, has not prevented pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from flying their missions overseas.

SH sent in this story about some WiFi patent lawsuits. The patent trolling situation is getting beyond ridiculous. The bloody troll bullies from Innovatio are suing owners of franchise hotels and coffee shops. In fact, their plan is to sue everyone using Wi-Fi, although you're not on their list. Yet.
Here's a 12-drive raid enclosure in Lego from Ajax.
AFACT and iiNet are preparing for their High Court battle in December. The stage has been set for a December 1 and 2 High Court hearing. The High Court is the final court of appeal and the outcome of this case is likely to result in legislative changes. Five judges will be overseeing the two-day hearing. With so little time, the High Court will be running a tight ship and arguments from both sides will have to be succinct.
