Current top-down methods of chip production use electron beam lithography, an expensive process that involves etching silicon into smaller and smaller pieces. Such methods will eventually hit a limit at which further miniaturization would entail extreme expense...
...Bush did open one tiny window. Once again he mentioned getting the plane back, but by now this was a bargaining chip. The Chinese were not likely to relinquish such a prize, yet by demanding it Bush might allow them to save some face by releasing the crew but keeping the plane.

If the earnings slump is temporary, as it most likely will be for blue-chip firms like Intel and Microsoft, the near term outlook should be ignored if you are a long-term investor. A better metric is the expected five-year growth rate...
