IEEE special report on the Singularity

jbcarr83 writes: The IEEE Spectrum is running a special issue on the technological singularity as envisioned by Vernor Vinge and others. Articles on both sides of the will it/won't it divide appear, though most take the it will approach. I found Richard A.L. Jones' contribution, "Rupturing The Nanotech Rapture" to be of particular interest. He puts forward some very sound objections to nanomachines of the Drexler variety.
