Computing:
Whatever turned out of this intriguing cooling solution(air cooling as fast as water):
nanolightning cooling
AMD:
I've heard that the dual channel feature requires same brand same model ram cards/thingies. Which makes sense. But I've also heard they've to also be from the same factory lot/batch, or you may've problems. Is that for real?
Quantum:
When Electrons move to higher/lower energy states it is said they're receiving/emitting a photon. I've heard that this is always the case, is this so?
What's the deal with the "anything can happen but with a practically impossible probability" according to quantum mechanics saying, many physicists use in the media? Is it for real? That's can a car suddenly turn solid gold? can an ice cream cone suddenly disappear from your hand?
Wifi:
I know the army's thinking about using smart dust, millions/billions of wireless sensors on the field, on top of millions of probably wifi equipped soldiers. Now say an allied nation goes and deploys that too(say the military doesn't want to share). Now say a few allied enemy nations do the same too.... not to mention the avg. population wifi use, say ubiquitous computing(with even the bubblegum wrappers having built in chips.), assuming it's urban... What happens?
How many wireless devices/sensors can you have in a small room/space/battlefield without problem? with low energy consumption(remember wireless tiny sensors can't consume much if they're gonna be operating for any significant amount of time)?Millions? Billions? Trillions?
Could one for example use high bandwidth wireless on a future super computer? (say build a billion/trillion cheap low-power SoC chips with built in wireless). I mean If you could use wireless, while perf might suffer, it would be made easier to set it all up, no? You'd just keep buying more and put them right next to the others(assuming apt cooling), if the s/w had the ability to bypass malfunctioning/non-repairable units, it'd be quite easy to assemble and maintain, I'd pressume(just keep adding more.) or at least manageable.
What about antenna range/size/power scaling, I mean say for ubiquitous computer, could a bubblegum wrapper transmit a decent wifi signal, would it have to go optical(laser based)?
