AtomChip Notebook Computer
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.
Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end.

To Climber and all of you who go with the principle that anything can be true unless proven otherwise...it is actually the other way around that is the only sensible way to assume in real world. Otherwise we can all start spending a fortune on "ethereal energy crystals" and related new-age crap.
So yeah, go invest in this bogus company if their quantum mumbo-jumbo and poorly photoshopped pictures are good enough for you (ever wondered why they put so much emphasis on the fact that every device has an indicator of free storage space? - simple, it's easy to 'shop). But me, I'll rather wait to see it actually work. Jugding by the fact that they're telling basically the same thing for three years now, I think it's very safe to assume it's a hoax. I wonder how many of the positive comments here come from the people employed at the "Atom Chip Corporation"...

I don't know why this shouldn't be true, they are currently focussing on solar memory, so what was mentioned before happened: They focussed on industry because they got the money for this big stuff.
I'll wait and see if there will be any of those processors or memory modules in approx. 5
2-3 years or so. I don't think we're going to see them any earlier and by then Sandisk will have gotten their memory density of 139 GB/cm³ closer to the one from Atom Chip (1000 GB/cm³) or maybe even better.
The only reason for my to use this kind of techn. is the faster write/read speed and that it lasts longer than flash memory.
If this is not a hoax it will be a revolution which as most in industry happens slowly. Ten years ago I wouldn't have believed to own a 1,8" USB HDD with 120 GB storage. Two years ago it would have sounded crazy and last year possible.
Let's see what news there are next year.

Its good chip!

If you want to purchase the (quantum optic) Atom Chip Computer from Atom Chip Corporation in Westbury NY, you can write to them and ask for one. They will reply that they only sell their Atom Chip Computers to US Army for $20,000 each. So, although it may be a real device as claimed, developed in work at Kappa Numerics in Israel and at Intel also, possibly, and patented by Dr. Shimon Gendlin, possibly associated with a company called CompuTechnics, the computer is not available to the general consumer yet; at least, that is the situation I found, over the past few years. Also, as far as I know, the new 2008 Intel "Atom" computer is not the same at all, certainly has nothing to do with "quantum optic" computer technology; it may be Intel's attempt to dominate and subvert the new market that is being created for the Atom Chip Corporation's computer, under the patent ownership of Dr. Shimon Gendlin. Patent rights are established by Dr. Gendlin I believe, but from what I have read also, the Kappa Numerics group in Israel seems to claim they have some prior rights to the patented invention developed under their auspices. Not sure if Kappa Numerics is still in existence, but we know Intel still is; and certainly will not give up without a fight if Dr. Gendlin's computer is as powerful and dependable as claimed at CES and in their website.

A post I saw on this thread made me laugh so hard. Seeing as it's the year 2009 now, and it was posted back in 2006, I guess I can't really blame. Technology has increased exponentially. And the statement they made was "1tb for a hard drive? i would kill for that!" or something along those lines. I laughed so hard, thinking about the fact that my PS3 is the proud new owner of a after-market installed 500 gb hard drive, which is 2.3 inch big. If it could hold a bigger hard drive (as far as space goes) it would of been in the realm of 1 tb+ very easy. Kinda funny.
