oh, I didn't know the link was dead.
All the thing the article used to talk about, I work with at work (the "new" chip technology).
...and regarding Moore's Law, it basically goes like this: Every two years intel comes out with a new chip design, then the next two years they shrink that design, then you go back to step one(new design)
There was a show about a big scandal in the semiconductor industry, where some dude was claimimg that he had come up with an organic semiconductor (non-Si based, which is the current building block for all computer chips). Well, in the show about that guy, they said; "if Moore's Law were to ever end the world would stagnate(sp?) and fall into economic chaos, and go into the dark ages again.
Yes, they were serious.
