Memory and Magnets in our future

Some glimpses of future tech that will again change our computing usage patterns:

IBM develops 'instantaneous' memory, 100x faster than flash "a new kind of phase change memory (PCM) that reads and writes 100 times faster than flash, stays reliable for millions of write-cycles (as opposed to just thousands with flash), and is cheap enough to be used in anything from enterprise-level servers all the way down to mobile phones."

Future Magnetic Computers Could Consume Only Tiny Amounts Of Energy "Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have discovered that microprocessors using tiny magnets (pictured below) for logic, memory, and switching operations would dissipate just 18 millielectron volts of energy per operation at room temperature. That's a very small amount of electricity. In fact, it's the smallest amount of electricity possible to transmit information--a number known as the Landauer limit."

It's the way that you treat money in your daily life.

Here are 10 possible reasons you aren't a millionaire:
