    Science Daily[^]:

    Like a whirlpool, a new light-based communication tool carries data in a swift, circular motion. The optics advancement could become a central component of next generation computers designed to handle society's growing demand for information sharing. It may also be a salve to those fretting over the predicted end of Moore's Law.

      Well, I suppose it's a logic step. First, we had mechanical gears turning, implementing a sort of "memory." Then we had magnetic drums and platters spinning in circles. Getting light to move in a continually circular (or I guess in the case, vortex) pattern is, well reasonable, I guess. OK, I have no idea what I'm talking about. :) Marc

        It's OK, Marc, no one else knows what you are talking about either.

        What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

          I think it's talking about using (modulation of) circular polarization[^] to encode data mixed with 1 part hype and 9 parts cluelessness. :sigh:

          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

            I wouldn't call him "it" ;P

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
