( Don't use youtube tags, they'll only work with flash - which, let's be honest, should be removed from all computers by now :) )

I think currently that's the only path remaining, they can't shrink any further and they can't increase the clock much either...

A couple of years ago, the Physics guys at UNSW made a single atom current switch prototype. That is a big "shrinking". The problem is that they could control it only below 1 degree Kelvin or something like that... not exactly the typical living room temperature.

Carbon nanotubes can control single electrons. ;)

That's not a problem. They could just operate servers in the data centers and we could rent processing power. Then just connect in via our nationwide gigabit NBN fiber.....errrr....
