...When struck by light, each pixel generates an electric current that is converted into the digital data that make up your picture. But not all pixels are created equal, and some cameras use larger ones than others. For example, the pixels on the HP Photosmart R707 are just 2.8 microns wide, whereas those on the Nikon D70 are 7.8 microns wide. (A micron is tiny?1/24,500 of an inch.) The advantage of a larger pixel is that it is able to pick up more information about the image it is sensing...

...result, the food industry has become a place where product design is micromanaged as never before--where flavors are built literally by the molecule, salt crystals are measured by the micron, manufacturers agonize over which side of a chip is the best place for the flavoring, and any new product under development must be focus-grouped and taste-tested down to its last scrap of fiber and last drop of corn syrup...
...makes up for three bad years, and then profits are just obscene. But you're either big, or you're dead," says Penn. No one doubts that Infineon is big: it is now the world's third largest manufacturer of drams behind Samsung of South Korea and U.S. chipmaker Micron. Analysts predict that the semiconductor industry will grow next year and most of 2005 before the cycle turns down again. But this recovery, if it comes, will burn on a lower flame; growth rates are lower than in the early '90s, and most analysts believe those lower rates are here...
