Yep, faster than blindfolded Japanese hurdle jumpers for sure. You may think your 8GB flash memory thumbdrive is all that. Sure, it’s tiny and cute and degrades slowly over time, but how about some memory that will store and access information over 100 times faster and not degrade?
IBM’s Racetrack memory has been buzzing around for about a year now, but some events last week broke the research barriers that could have this tempting your zombie tech-consumers lusts within the next ten years.
Knocking Down the Walls
To totally geek out on you, IBM has been able to dance gingerly around the inconsistencies in the crystalline structure of magnetic nano-wires to allow magnetic domains to read/write data unhindered. Fascinating. This means some fast data accessin’ power son. An explanatory video? Sure, see below.
Faster Load Times For 3D CAD?
You all know load 3D data can take an eternity sometimes. If it’s not the network, it’s the size of the model. If it’s not the model, its your fist in the computer screen. Its hard to even comprehend not having to wait for load times huh? Since no load times leads to more free time, models and data will become so complex and realistic that there will still be load times. Here’s that video.

SolidSmack is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, and ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas.

If I want to read crap like this I am quite capable of searching for it myself I subscibe to solidsmack to hear about 3D modelling not this sort of “tomorrow's world” garbage!

Thanks for the critique. Always nice to hear what people like and do not like. I like to bring up stuff that related to 3D modelling too, the tech and product design specifically. Stuff like this can drastically change how we work, don't ya think? if anyone else doesn't like this post chime in… if you do like it chime in also. thanks.

I remember when CAD was a “Tomorrow's World” of garbage…..
It was a great article if you are not narrow minded…..
