We at Computerworld would be the last to say that science and technology aren't creative pursuits. Still, when most people say, "Oh, she's very creative," they're probably not talking about the subject's ability to perform higher math or engineer a network.

'Suped' up 13/03/2007 14:46:11
For years, the name of the game in supercomputing has been raw speed, with hardware and software designers striving to boost the number of instructions per second -- FLOPS -- that could be crunched. Gigaflops computers gave way to teraflops machines, which are now yielding to petaflops models -- those able to execute 1 quadrillion computations per second. - +
Molecular data storage demonstrated 14/08/2006 07:19:08
IBM researchers in Zurich have devised a single molecule switch. It can be flipped between two detectable 'on' and 'off' states by applying voltage pulses to it. Both states are stable and data read-out is nondestructive. More than 500 switching cycles have been demonstrated by IBM's researchers, Heike Riel and Emanuel Lortscher. - +

Wireless security 25/06/2002 10:30:00
Some people think that the term wireless security is an oxymoron, but in fact, wireless security isn't very different from wired security. To protect data going out from an organization, whether over radio waves that anyone can listen in on or over phone lines or network cabling that can be wiretapped or sniffed, you need the same basic controls as with any other connection.
