Pairs of tubes store data by locking together when a current runs through them and stay together even when the computer power is switched off and back on. The tubes remain linked until separated by a countercurrent, so their memory is retained. And these chips have other...

...talent, get it cheaply and nurture it. His buys of French players like Thierry Henry, Sylvain Wiltord and Robert Pires, Swedish star Freddie Ljungberg and Brazilians Edu and Gilberto Silva have fashioned a side that has supplanted Manchester United as the most exciting team to watch, and at a fraction of the cost.
