Nvidia NV30 30% faster than Radeon 9700 Pro
Nvidia will use DDR II memory running at 500MHz or 1GHz effective that will be the fastest memory used so far in this type of semiconductor, as we reported before. The NV30 chip will feature eight pipelines and two TMUs - that's one more than ATI - and this will give it quite a boost since it will be able to render 16 textures per pass.

New light shed on unbreakable encryption
Scientists at Northwestern University say they have harnessed the properties of light to encrypt information into code that can be cracked only one way: by breaking the physical laws of nature. This high-speed quantum cryptography method allowed the scientists to send encrypted data over a fiber-optic line at 250mbps (megabits per second), which the researchers said was more than 1,000 times faster than what was achievable with existing quantum technology.

Polymers may rocket Net speed to 145GHz
The scientists at Lucent Technologies' research arm have demonstrated in a controlled laboratory setting that certain polymer materials have physical properties to channel data signals at tremendous speeds. The rate could approach a heady 145GHz...much faster than widely used optical networks that typically clock in at about 10GHz, or 10 billion cycles per second.

'Smart Displays' Allow PCs From Any Room
At the annual Comdex trade show to be held in Las Vegas next week, Microsoft and computer display makers will show off so-called "smart displays." Outwardly, they are similar to the flat-panel LCD devices that are becoming popular among PC users as thin and lightweight alternatives to traditional glass-screened computer monitors. But the key difference with these new display units is buried inside.
