These thing are not mutually exclusive. He can ask both his team and slashdot, perhaps feeding suggestions from slashdot back to his team for comments before making a final decision. No need to assume the guy is a bad manager, even if there are plenty of bad managers around.

Graphene Transistors Clocked At 26GHz 174

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday December 11, 2008 @11:17AM from the slightly-faster-than-one dept.

KentuckyFC writes "A team at IBM has built the first high quality graphene transistors and clocked them running at 26 GHz . That doesn't quite knock silicon off its perch. The fastest silicon transistors are an order of magnitude faster than that but the record is held by indium phosphide transistors which have topped 1000 GHz. But it's not bad for a new kid on the block. It took silicon 40 years to get this far. By contrast, the first graphene transistor was built only last year. IBM says 'the work represents a significant step towards the realization of graphene-based electronics.' (Abstract)."

Hey, we know its an unfair criticism, compared to small densly populated countries like Japan and Korea...Still, articles like this may light a fire under some suceptables asses, and get us better broadband.

Sweden, one of the other countries mentioned, has 21.87 people per km^2 of land, which is less than 31.98 in USA. [number are from the CIA factbook] Population density cannot be a reason why the criticism is unfair.
