The Changing Face of Below 60-MIPS Mainframes
Moore's law, most visibly observed in PCs and servers, has also quietly transformed the mainframe world. Its stellar price/performance consequence has reduced the ability of companies like IBM to provide labor-intensive services such as on-site sales and support; it also imposes economic disincentives to offer small machines, since they cost as much as large systems to build and supportâyet market forces dictate that they sell cheaper and thus cannot carry overhead and staffing burdens enjoyed in the past.

From Broadband to Ultra Wide Band (Mar 2002)
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a data transmission method which uses very short duration pulses over large transmission bandwidths. In English, that means a lot of information goes from point A to point B very rapidly by sending all of it in one big cluster. The emergence of Ultra Wide Band could have a revolutionary impact on data transmission and consumer electronics. The technology could be applied to set up wireless cable TV or computer networks at home, or to enable users to swap enormous amounts of data almost instantly.
