Amazing.  Two important technological breakthroughs in one day, one from Intel, and another from Korea.&nbs p; I like the one from Korea because it means I won't have to worry about going bald anymore.

The Inquirer: Intel FB-DIMMs to offer real memory breakthroughs, part 2, part 3. Always good to see some high-end IBM technology making it into the mainstream. Considering the lameness of DDR2, I wonder if FB-DIMMs based on overclocked DDR or GDDR3 DRAMs would be better.

The Technological Juggernaut 08/27/2004 01:58 PM
As Larry Lessig has long and presciently emphasized, law and technology are substitute methods of protecting an interest. You can sue a trespasser; but it may be cheaper just to put up a strong fence. We used to think that if the technological substitute was adequate, it would be superior...

Technological diffusion patterns

Technological diffusion patterns 08/09/2004 06:02 AM

I get this feeling that the diffusion of new services and technologies such as blogs and social network services are not normal. Normal diffusion patterns are sort of bell curves that track mass media attention and other factors including effort on the supply side. With social network systems, there seem to be regional explosions of users. Orkut now has more Brazilians than Americans and I have yet to hear a good explanation of why. There are very uneven proportion of bloggers in different regions. The last I looked, Poland and Iran seem to have an unnaturally high number of blogs. Does the digital word of mouth nature of social software make it's diffusion faster (viral) and non-linear? Is the diffusion of other technologies in these markets and segments that are networked also change?

Is there anyone doing good work in this area? I'm sure marketers have their theories on this. I can imagine anthropologists and sociologists also studying this. What is the right way to study this?

Contests as the path to solving complex

Contests as the path to solving complex
technological problems 02/13/2004 03:48 PM
Perhaps one of the best ways to get the US economy going again is for the Government to dive into the business of contests.  Simply, cash awards to organizations that engineer and demonstrate breakthrough technology that solves specific problems.  We have seen a few minor efforts in this direction recently.  NASA has launched their "Centennial Challenges" program with $20 m for key technological breakthroughs.  DARPA is even getting into the act with a $1 m "Grand Challenge" for an autonomous ground vehicle that can navigate between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  These contests compliment the now famous privately funded X-Prize that will award $10 m to the first organization that can get 3 people to 100 km above the earth and back twice within two weeks.  What do you think about contests (or a sequence of increasingly difficult contests that build on each other) for the development of unmanned Mars missions (at much less expense than the $820 m spent on Spirit and Opportunity), extremely low cost hydrogen fuel cells, 20 hour laptop batteries that cost less than $100, and more?  In my view, a billion $$ spent this way over the next couple of years would prove true McLuhan's dictum that for every great problem there is someone that doesn't see it as a problem.

BTW: there needs to be a lot of academic work done on how to make these contests effective.
