Most of the new development was carried in Kyiv, Ukraine. But Moscow had a technology to grind x86 chips slice by slice to reverse engineer Intel technology. So they send a committee from Moscow to Kyiv to choose a path for the industry for the next decade. Due to enmity between russians and ukrainians committee chose to continue with grinding and reverse engineering and the development of own technologies was canceled. Some years later Intel launched 80386 with 3D chip structure and russians were unable to guess its schematics like it was with 8086/88 and 80286.

Radioactiva writes "A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have produced a system which delivers power to devices without the need for wires by lighting up a 60 watt light bulb from a power source two meters away and with no physical connections between the source and the appliance.
The "WiTricity" device — the term coined by the MIT team to describe the wireless power phenomenon — uses magnetic fields to deliver power to the gadgets remotely.
The charger sends power to the gadget using magnetic induction, which is the ability to change a magnetic field to produce an electrical current."

The courts have for the first time found that the electronic trail briefly left in a computer server's Random Access Memory (RAM) by each visitor to a site is "stored information," and must be turned over as evidence during litigation, according to documents obtained by CNET News.com.
...
This may be the first time that anyone has argued that information within RAM is electronically stored information and therefore subject to the rules of evidence, Chooljian said according to court records. Up to now, many Web sites that promised users anonymity, such as TorrentSpy, believed they need only to switch off their servers' logging function to avoid storing user data.
Should Chooljian's order stand, the decision could force Web sites to rethink privacy precautions.
