But Gates has at least one, and more likely two, lives left in this game--one if the U.S. Supreme Court takes the case immediately, as the Justice Department...

Moore wrote that the number of circuits on a silicon chip would keep doubling every year.

Last year Intel engineer Paul Packan publicly sounded the alarm in Science magazine, warning that Moore's law could collapse. He wrote, "There are currently no known solutions to these problems...
