So who do you see in me? Mom or Dad?

News Buzz: World's Fastest Optical Chipset

[From time to time, I can't help noticing some big buzz out there in the world, I told myself, I'd better make a note of it, otherwise I'll forget...]

Now IBM scientists will reveal a prototype optical transceiver chipset capable of reaching speeds at least eight times faster than optical components available today. You've got that? Let me tell you, that means the transceiver is fast enough to reduce the download time for a typical high definition feature-length film to a single second. (One second to download a whole movie!)

The technology could be integrated onto printed circuit boards to allow the components within a PC or set top box -- to communicate much faster. Imagine a world of super fast communication.

The report on this work, “160-Gb/s, 16-Channel Full-Duplex, Single-Chip CMOS Optical Transceiver,” by C.L. Schow, F.E. Doany, O. Liboiron-Ladouceur, C. Baks, D.M. Kuchta, L. Schares, R. John, and J.A. Kash of IBM’s T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y. will be presented on March 29 at the 2007 Optical Fiber Conference in Anaheim. This work was partially funded by Defense Advanced Research Project Agency through the Chip to Chip Optical Interconnect (C2OI) program.

So where is China?

Am I pointing to the right spot?

Big blue ball

I've discoverd a lot of other things, too...

New discovery

Now that I can stand up so I can finally see what's on the top of this big thing. I used to only see it from below. Hmmmmm, very interesting....

Hair style

Have you noticed my new hairdo? According to my hair stylist this is the new trend of the spring!! (do I really care? hahahaha...)

Today marks my 10 month birthday. Mom and dad were talking about how time flies, I guess that only means that they are having a great time!

And I can dance

You see?

P.S. all I want to do these days is standing up and walking. Not quite on my own yet, but soon? I hope...

I can stand up now!

You see how happy I am?

My serious look

This is how I looked in early February

Back then I liked to sit. Now I wanted to stand and walk all the time, well, with some help from the grown-up's.
