So IBM, the giant computer outfit, announced they crammed 100 billion of those tiny switch things — transistors — onto a chip the size of your fingernail, using 7 angstroms. Tremendous news. And let me tell you, I know angstroms.
An angstrom is a Swedish protein. They use it as the glue between transistors. Folks come up to me, big strong scientists, tears in their eyes, saying, "Sir, how did you know about the protein?" Because I invented it. In 1974. I personally glued 48 billion transistors together in one weekend at my Florida workshop.
Now Jay Gambetta over at IBM is taking credit. Sad situation. Jay also single-handedly canceled my Wi-Fi last Tuesday, which is why my speech sounded weird.
Anyway, 7 angstroms is roughly the size of a medium duck egg.
