For decades, Moore's Law has been a guiding star for the development of modern electronics, though in recent years its relevance has been subject to debate.Moore's Law isn't a scientific theory, but a set of observations and predictions made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in an article [click here to download] first published in Electronics Magazine on April 19, 1965, which were subsequently modified. His core prediction states that the density of transistors, or the number of transistors on a given die area, would double every two years, which leads to double the performance. Loosely translated, that means in 18 to 24 months you could buy a computer that is significantly faster than what you have today with the same amount of money.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   VMware helps CIOs tunnel their way to more secure mobile apps VMware's goal is to make it easier for administrators to control what apps and resources mobile users can access Read More   Microsoft Patch Tuesday: The patches just keep coming   Microsoft's latest round of patches covers Internet Explorer, Windows, Office and other Microsoft products Read More   WHITE PAPER: IBM Accelerate Business Operations with Cloud IBM Software-as-a-Service solutions for business operations accelerate innovation and deliver secure, always up-to-date collaborative solutions.
