You may never have heard of the Atom Chip Corporation before, but you will if they've really built what they claim to have built--a notebook computer that boasts a 6.8GHZ CPU and 2TB of non-volatile Quantum Storage (in place of a hard disk). For those who aren't tech savvy, a notebook computer like this would be years ahead of anything else on the market. The company says that it will present this miracle technology to the world during an upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. However, the pictures it has on its website look strangely amateurish, like pieces of computer hardware glued together. The liberal use of the word "quantum" in its description is also a clue that this thing is totally bogus. The Register states that it's a "trifle sceptical" of the company's claims.

Lol.. I'll get me coat.

Just seen the link to the t-shirt...

"you will find a German University where there is a team who has developed such a chip. It hardly suprises me that this could indeed be real.

Do the math ppl. If he filed his hardware patent in '96, which included the manufacturing process that's plenty of time for corporate and government research labs to use his concepts and ideas for their own devlopment. I suspect he's been forced into production to capitalize on his inventions before the labs send their -slightly different- developments to the people paying their bills.

He also deserves a programming award if he could get a symetric multi-proceess OS to run on an asymetric processing CPU. Must be ported all to H in which case the benchmark is probably bogus since it represents mutiple symetric-threaded processes. I don't think there's any benchmark or program coded for more than 4 threads. But there are ways to get around that....

Get real people.

Do you really think that if they actually developped this kind of technology their first application would be laptops???

Selling them a few thousand dollars to the average Joe???

Showing it at a comsumer trade show???

This would go strait into server class machines and sold gazillions of dollars to big corporation ready to pay the price.

It would take a few years before it hits consumer markets.

i don't believe it

what are you guys afriad of.
what was the fastest cpu in 1996.
what is the fastest cpu today.
how meny years ago did they say that burning resistors into gold would hit a dead end.
do you think when they found that out they would just stick to it, and barry there heads in the sand. no!
to all those people saying how can it run windows.
how does mac computers play games and run using windows programs, its called virtual pc. these guys are computer engineers and programers. and yes they do need a clean room. what gets in the way of the light screws up there resurch (eg. dust). does anyone know there investor list there tech doners, anything about them. yes the tech they are using is limited by the old tech they are using but is it not a step in the right direction.
the bench mark is the whole system running and using old tech there is huge bottle necks everywhere.
if we as people can imagine it we can make it happen, just think 100 years ago what kind of tech did we have. 50 years ago what kind of tech did we have.

(the greats. einstien, hutchenson, newton, divinchy, tesla, vern. if you can think of it so shall it be.)

im not say ney or yeh to this company i only can hope its true.

sorry if im not the best speller.

its fake fake fake!!!
you've been totally punk'd !!

i could do better mock ups of that stuff in paintshop pro. I love the old SIMM chip with the 1TB sticker... funny guys.

the domain registration should be convincing enough for people who are still gullible enough to lap this stuff up.

If it is fake it certainly is a well-thought out, elaborate and long-standing hoax.

I suggest that you forget the quality of the website and the english. Lack of facility in language is not uncommon among first generation emigrant scientists that I have known.

It is wise to reserve judgement until the actual demonstration of the technology. However, the recent news regarding the possible falsification of data published in Science regarding a stem cell breakthrough by a team of scientists in Korea gives one pause for thought.

Nevertheless, it is an interesting exercise to find out how much hard information and science can be found on this subject.

Are the patents real? Yes.
Are they from 1996? Yes. (Submission date)
Is the science plausible? I am not an expert, but here are some clues ...

1) There is a consortium of German Universities working on atom chips. If you download and compare their recent (2002) review paper to Dr. Gendlin's patent description, you may be surprised to find out that Dr. Gendlin's patent describes some very similar fundamental concepts.

http://pi1.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/physi/atph/index.php,
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5673220.html

2) If you do a google search for Ben Aryeh (listed as one of the principle officers in Dr. Gendlin's company, you will find links to a published physicist with the last name Ben-Aryeh, who publishes in the area of quantum and photon physics.

There seems to be a smoking gun here, but no body. I can't wait to see what happens after the January CES. We'll have a body then. I hope someone has a chance to examine it thoroughly.

Yo, Ces is on now:

This is the contact details and booth number:

Company Booth(s):
Booth NumberShow Location
36604South Hall

Can somebody wonder over there and see.

Anyone has any info on this... Atom Chipy thingie? Any reports from CES? Any news in the Web?

I'm still looking for reports from CES about this Atom Chip, I've been 50/50 about this, so was really hoping for some CES reports to emerge about Shimon and his company.

If anybody has a friend that is going, ring them on their mobile, and ask them to wonder over and check it out. If it aren't there, ask CES administration why this firm on their site hasn't shown.

Gizmodo says it's real. (Well, really THERE at least.) No hands-on test yet.

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/ces/live-from-ces-quantum-disk-from-atom-chip-corp-147086.php

Gizmodo has a short thingy on this Quantum Thingy.

Hopefully they'll have more...

im hooked

i think its real

check this out

a vid:
http://www.compu-technics.com/images/solar memory.WMV

yeahhh, that last vid there pretty much clinches it as a hoax, reallly fake. I mean like sad fake. like I could have done better on my machine in about 10 mins.

I find this website sometimes ago and i was not sure about fake or not.
But now, since i read the latest news on Gizmodo and that i watched the video i'm 100% sure it's fake.
So fun they are taking picture of something without lens...
Come on, it's just a cmos or lcd chip on a solar panel, 2 small red dots on it and a laser...
AND a small paper.
So what you see at the end is no more than a reflexion of the same stupid paper... :-D
Anyway, we will see some interresting stuffs coming in a near future, like puRAM or IRam drives.

Best regards,

Red

with that and google with their cheap world computer idea.
i heard gates talking about how it would help develope the world more if everyone was connected

google is takeing over


http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/live-coverage-of-the-google-keynote/#comments

regardless is the adam a hoax or not

any updates on the CES2006!? its best if somebody from the trade fair can tell us if they see the booth and the item.

everyone knows it's fake. The company is just trying to get press and buzz.

Yeah watch the Video of the "Solar power chip" on the website, and then try to argue the validity of this company. Its sad to think how many people will be suckered by this guy.

Oh this is too funny...

I checked the whois of his site as and realised that I live a couple blocks away from this freak...... Nice to see someone from my neighbourhood making a name for themself........

Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... too funny......

Good, your the man, go around there and check him out, maybe he has a working prototype in his garage.

Maybe we should ring him, and tell him we are sending around an Ass-Nugget for him.

Seriously, things are a lot easier to errantly dismiss than to prove. A bad demo is somebody that hasn't spent the time, or simply somebody that spent it on something better. Hold it another saying coming, of yeah, now maybe I should actually watch the demo.

Oh yeah, I could spend oodles of pages discussing this one as a technical person. There is something that can produce that effect, firstly it would either have to gather photons from the direction of the text recorded, if not from all directions, and replay them back in another mirrored angle. Possible. But then it records a sequence of them over time, so every point has a depth of temporal memory, still possible, but that would be a feat and a half. But what gives the plot away as extremely poor presentation, or a hoax, is that when the supposed image turns off, there is cut frame when it goes to grey, and another when it goes to black. The camera has moved in between the frames, and it is being passed off as continuous footage. It is either very bad presentation to make it look neater (and people do do some odd things) or just a hoax.

Oh, yeah, this demo is so bad it is hard to believe it is a hoax

Firstly, as suspected last time, the text is moved along and down to centre it properly, and at the end it is moved faster. But on the "solar chip" replay of it, it is already centred and moves much more smoothly to the end. In video production it is common to shoot each a sequence/part multiple times, and put the best shoot of each part together to form a new sequence, and even jump cut borings bits. This is very rough. But I must admire the solar chip's physics bending movements on the space test flight part of the demo

Hi friends,

Did you see (that on the hoax video) during input, the card is shifted about 2 inches vertically during recording (just before the text potion of the sign)? Stangely enough, this does not show up during "playback". Well, maybe it is a quantum thing, I don't know

Is there any sort of proof of operation required to present at CES? Did this guy have to establish that his computer did what he says before being allowed to get a booth?

More, importantly, did he show it at the booth, like they said? I thought they were supposed to release this at some reasonably normal price, doesn't look like it.

The laptops were at CES. They were locked in a display case so no one could use them and see if they were real.

Is pretty lame all this.There is people who is developing Real innovations and want a place in the CES and these people get a place in the CES with big jokes,I wonder if at least have some proof.
I have a friend who works in nanotechnology and is possible,HP is currently working in a prototype with molecular switches.
This could be possible but I bet is an hoak as is not a big Corporation like HP.
Also is pretty lame how the media follow all these crap without any proof.
