We Must Dump Hruska J

Those contacting Joel Hruska are wasting their time. We have been here before on this board last year and the new 'inititive' is counter productive.
Joel's mind is set against POET, he sees our contacts as pumping. Understand that whilst he writes well he has no real IT background he is a hack not a jounalist and is prepared to prostitute proffesional investigative journalism in favour of how to make a buck out of convinicng readers he knows things. For me his work is not research but simply a skill at plagerising company handouts, in his particular area of accumulated knowledge, principally the area of hot gaming machines whose readers marvel at how system clocks can be tweaked for speed.
Joel is simply the voice of the unbeliever, there will be many. Soon we will have the irrefutable evidence to blast the naysayers into oblivion. As PC says he does not want tour US until he has the deal done W too must not try to apostlise POETto non believers until Moses comes down from the Mountain with his tablets of truth.
'There's a difference between looking for things that are likely to succeed and serving as a PR mouthpiece for companies looking to make a name for themselves. I am glad Poet and many other companies are doing research. I am glad they continue to work on finding solutions to difficult problems. But when 3-5 people show up in a forum thread to play evangelical chorus for a given technology, that puts my radar up.
I read Poet's technological ideas and press deck. It's mildly interesting. It'll be a lot more interesting if one of two things happens.
1). They're acquired by a major vendor who announces a plan to deploy their technology in logic or memory semiconductors.
2). They figure out how to scale it below 40nm.
Until those two things happen, Poet is a cool idea with some specialized applications. And there's nothing *wrong* with that. But it's not the fundamental new driver of semiconductor utility.
No one will ever return to building chips on 90nm for consumer electronics, HPC, or mobile phones. Until they solve that bottleneck, it's of limited interest to a consumer market.'
Pleas just leaveJoel to stew in his own juices.
