Moore's Law Marches On

After reading these two articles:

I am pushed further to the "Moore's Law is alive and well" side of the argument about whether we are seeing an end to exponential growth or not. If these two techniques (basically creating single atom wide semi-conductors that allow electronics to flow with almost no resistance, thus near the speed of light with little heat generation) reach production quickly, we are on the verge of a new generation of electronics that will be much smaller, much faster, and need a lot less battery or power. Can't wait!!
