Forget Moore's Law Because it's unhealthy. Because it has become our obsession. Because it is dangerous -- a runaway train, roaring down a path to disaster. Michael Malone writes in the February issue of Red Herring. (This is the article that John Markoff mentioned in today's NYT article.) Forget Moore's Law | Red Herring |

I keep thinking of this song when I'm reading SARS news: NOFX - Just the Flu Looking back to the past,
predictions of the end
Unseen ultra violet rays
are beating on my head
Nuclear threat wanna bet will be our demise
The day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies When the news had spread, that soon we'd all be dead
Well it just blew our minds
No one could have guessed that our worst fears at best
Figments of our time So it seems that our dreams will never come to be
How could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
A few weeks till extinction and there's nothing we can do
A message sent to other worlds will say, "It was just the flu" There's no lesson to be learned
There's no one left to learn it The Spread of SARS: History of the Outbreak (3/17/03 - Present) |

] With a blast of X-rays compressing a capsule of hydrogen
] to conditions approaching those at the center of the Sun,
] scientists from Sandia National Laboratories reported
] today that they had achieved thermonuclear fusion, in
] essence detonating a tiny hydrogen bomb.
]
] Such controlled explosions would not be large enough to
] be dangerous and might offer an alternative way of
] generating electricity by harnessing fusion, the process
] that powers the Sun. Fusion combines hydrogen atoms into
] helium, producing bountiful energy as a byproduct. Yay. Alternative sources of power are a good thing. New Fusion Method Offers Hope of New Energy Source |

UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism is hosting an event entitled "Weblogs, Information, and Society" on April 10. Speakers include: Dan Gillmor, San Jose Mercury News; Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext; Donna Wentworth, Harvard's Berkman Center; Ed Felten, Princeton; Scott Rosenberg, Salon; and Ernest Miller, LawMeme. Description: The Weblogs Information and Society panel draws webloggers from academe, business, and journalism to explore how weblogs continue to change the way groups and individuals work, learn, and communicate. The panel will also explore how weblogs, and social software in particular, facilitate civic and creative engagement by increasing the fluidity of information between individuals and organizations. This developing relationship between weblogs, information, and society is significant and deserves further discussion. Weblogs, Information, and Society | Event at UC Berkeley |
