Quantum dot memory may be 'Holy Grail' of computing

Entering Contest: Dream Trip '08

I know I won't win Condé Nest Traveler's Big Trip Contest '08, but it got me to thinking. What would an awesome vacation be for W and me.

My dream trip (with my fiancé) would be a whirl-wind tech-sploration of the most modern and advanced cities of the world. This journey would highlight modern architecture (i.e. new skyscrapers); art museums (featuring modern artists possibly using technology and innovative modern techniques); visiting & touring various computer and technology companies; seeking out leaders and contributers in the Linux community; sampling food from the most innovative chefs and fusion cuisine in each local (i.e. molecular gastronomy); seeking out the newest and most modern beauty and spa treatments; and last but not finding the newest and most interesting stores that sell innovative products.

Cities highlighted in the tech-sploration would include Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, Singapore, Berlin, London, Moscow, Paris and Buenos Aires.

We all live in spherical mini worlds.

I came across these pics. They're beautiful and each one begs for closer inspection. Here a a few. The remainder can be found at ArtJob.ru.






































I love these because they are atmospheric and probably the most artsy/artistic of the bunch. The entire set does deserve a perusal. The credit for these photographs, I believe, goes to Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

I am going to research how there pictures were taken and see if I can replicate the technique. I'll post my revelations and experimentation.
