PCs no longer consume the majority of DRAM chips?

9/17/2012

 
Interesting...  According to an article at Reuters, new data released by the research firm iSuppli showed that personal computers used just 49% of all DRAM chips manufactured in Q2 of 2012 (leaving of course 51% of all memory parts consumed by other devices, such as phones, tablets, and so on).

This is pretty significant news - this is apparently the first time this has happened since the 1980s.  And it certainly seems that trends like this are only going to continue...

TI calculator that receives sensor data

Graphing calculators have come a LONG way.  The TI-Nspire CX CAS has a 3.2-inch full-color screen, and can translate equations into rotating 3-D graphs, with animations.

One of the truly amazing things is that lab cradle for the device enables it to receive and analyze a range of lab-sensor data—from CO2 levels and UV intensity to human heart and respiration rates.

I so wish I had tools like this when I was a kid...I got to grow up with a Casio Pocket Mini :-)
