A super-cooled computer chip has shattered speed records for silicon-based electronics, but don’t expect your PC to hum along at 500 gigahertz anytime soon.
The chip ran at -451 degrees which is about 8 degrees above Absolute Zero (-273.15 °C or -459.67°F). I don’t think that I could run my apt that cold to try it for myself. Researchers think that they are able to reach the same speeds while running it in room temp. That would be a very exciting day to run a computer with a 500 Ghz Processors considering not to long ago they started selling 500 GB Hard Drives.
The typical cell phone chip today runs at 2 GHz, while the highest-end PC microprocessors run at less than 4 GHz. John Cressler and a team of 22 scientists and graduate students forged the chip by melding silicon with atoms of the element germanium, a process so fragile that even the tiniest miscue could evaporate their work. It took researchers nine months to invent a new process to clock the chip by injecting liquid helium into a probing station. Scientists can view the process through a powerful electronic microscope zoomed to see the tiny chip, only a few thousandths of a millimeter wide. – Source CNN.com/tech

ESPN came to their senses and until July 19th, ESPN 360 is free even if you do not have a supported ISP. Take advantage of it by going: www.espn360.com. I believe it works with Internet Explorer on a PC not a MAC. if it works on others, let me know.

For those of you who saw my post on ESPN 360 flaw, most of you were able to watch the game on-line. However, if you were not able to watch it, here is the rundown
Haminu Draman opened the scoring for the Black Stars following a blunder by Claudio Reyna in the 22nd minute, before Clint Dempsey leveled the scores for in the 43rd.
The striker deprived Manchester City’s former Sunderland and Rangers midfielder off the ball and gently chipped it past ex-Tottenham goalkeeper Kasey Keller from 10 yards out on the left.
Dempsey then pulled one back for Ghana after Beasley had intercepted a pass in the attacking third. He chipped the ball over to the surging Dempsey, who hammered it home from 12 yards out.
A controversial penalty from Stephen Appiah just before the break proved decisive, as the USA failed to find a way back into the match.
After many injuries late in the game, Ghana was able to find the win. Unfortunately for the US, they had many chances to score in the final 10 minutes of the game and failed miserably
