cash cow or ...?
So, I read something like this
"Compared to current technology, Nanomech storage devices offer 200 times better write performance while consuming 50 to 100 times less power." article
and I think to myself "Wow! Wouldn't it kick-ass to get in on this action early and make a fortune!"
Problem is, I'm sure there's more to smart investing than picking companies that have cool ideas/technologies. Anyways, cool technology bit.
In other news, Deep Impact is coming up on July 4. No... I'm not talking about all those crazy southerners blowing up part of their lawn with Independence day fireworks! At approximately 2am EST on July 4, the Deep Impact mission will attain it's primary objective, which is to smash a payload into comet Tempel 1 at a speed of 23,000 miles/hr and record the resulting explosion. Below is a picture of the comet taken a few days ago.
The scale on the picture is approximately 100,000 miles across. Pretty huge!

I think it's a pretty big gamble to invest in a company like that. Unless you are an employee, or have some kind of inside knowledge into the company, or the field, I think I'd wait for some consumer stuff to come out.
Afterall, even cool stuff can flop just because of business issues that have nothing to due with the actual product...a la Sony Beta Max
Good advice. I guess I need to get my ass in gear and join the "real" world one of these days. Then I can get the inside scoop.
The real world is lame dude! Stay in the fake world until you come up with some crazy million dollar idea and then skip past the real world into the surreal world ;) I'll meet you there!
Mission went off without a hitch. A Movie of the impact is available.
