RE:Joel schools Vanhooren ... pricelessGabagool there is so many things wrong with your last statement, I don't even know where to begin.
The technology has not been around for 40 years. It has been worked on for many years, but only now is it being stabilized and suitable for commercial use. So don't make it seem like it has been an ignored technology for 40 years.
I highly doubt you have any idea what the folks ar Intel, TSMC, Samsung, etc. are talking about. Do you work for all these companies and partake in all their closed door meetings? I wouldn't certainly believe a technology such as this is very much on their radar and being discussed regularly, especially as of late. Nobody wants to be left behind on a game changer, or it could mean the end of their company. Their primary goal is to stay on top of things just like POET, though this one is probably the single most important advance they have had to consider in a long time.
I don't know what your hate-on is for this company...but I assume you are being paid to stay here as many years as you have, and taken the time to make and use as many alias' as you have. I hope they are paying you well, because you will be out of a job very soon.
