I wish I had real money to invest in nano-tech. It's already changing the world, and someday its gonna cause a paradigm shift.
Great story, thanks for the link.

Imagine it:

Using Office 204 on my ľAcer. What's great is that it writes itself!

Popular media likes to sensationalize these stories though. It's better keep up with the happenings in science by reading peer reviewed journals and not BBC News.

LOL reminds me of Roald Dahl's story machine.

Chemical computing is probably at least a decade away, but yeah nano-tech is where its at today.

Without guessing, or imagining, there would be no point in science to begin with.
Rock on all of you who dream, wonder, and change the world.

P.S. I would need some context for the use of a rocket powered microwave oven... hehe. Pizza on the run?

Absolutely. Too many people get hung up on "the way it's done" rather than finding a better way.

Einstein supposedly said "question everything". I question even whether he said it or not. Don't just think outside the box, burn the box.
