i dont see how anyone else like intel would have discovered this out its basic technology well available- fibre optic broadband for example i cant wait until our computers are than fast but they will nedd some serious super cooling

Basic idees maybe, however not that easy to implement in CMOS technology ..and no, no serious super cooling is necessary. These optical connection will be less power consuming than high-speed electronics ..at least that is the goal!

i believe the future contains a 100% glass computer, that pretty much runs on daylight. when the sun goes down, the computer sleeps. when the sun is up, light goes into the glass pc and reflects/refracts/melts in various ways. something like that. reflecting images on a really small scale is where its at. technically, the smallest glow worm could power a computer run on light.
