The ruling on Wednesday tossed out a fraud conviction against Rambus for withholding information from a chip industry consortium, which adopted Rambus' protocols for memory transfer without knowing Rambus had patents on the technology.
TOKYO-Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that the company has developed a prototype memory element for a spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory (STT-MRAM) that achieves the world's lowest1 power consumption yet reported, indicating that it has the potential to surpass the power consumption efficiency of SRAM as cache memory.

If you're a frequent reader you're surely well aware of the potential of spin torque transfer memory, or STT-MRAM, and how spin-polarized magnetic currents (and the electrons they love to caress) might hold the potential to revolutionize storage as we know it.

In a symbiotic program that should potentially benefit studios, consumers, and perhaps even the medium itself, Apple hooked up with HD Radio developer iBiquity to integrate a "Tag" button into future hardware releases, which when triggered loads metadata about the current song to memory for future transfer to a docked iPod.
These next-generation cameras will produce photos of unprecedented quality, and the large file sizes can quickly overwhelm a CompactFlash memory card's data-transfer rates and halt shooting.

We've seen it before -- it's basically a car stereo faceplate that sports 1GB internal memory and connects with your PC to transfer music.
"Transfer of data between different memory types has improved significantly in recent times, and will be further helped by the standards for hard drives which are currently being developed by the major manufacturers, " said Mr Larsson.
And, using the handy SharePort Mobile app for mobile devices, USB and SD card file sharing or expanded device storage, it's easier than ever to record and share a video with friends, send a corporate presentation to people in the audience, or transfer digital photos from a camera's memory card to a computer in the field.

The company's USB 2.0 HyperDrive SPACE may look like your average Korean-bound DAP at first glance, but actually houses your choice of 2.5-inch hard drive, and can automatically transfer pictures or media from a smorgasbord of flash memory directly onto the HDD to keep your card ready for more.

To transfer information from short-term to long-term memory, the brain requires periods of rest.
And so, throughout the day, the more you shift contexts and the more unrelated those contexts are, the harder your brain works to transfer, store, and flush information out of short-term memory.
FORBES: And Now for Something Completely Different: Context Shifting
Those included stored memory (the ability to hold both a stored program and data), conditional control transfer, which allowed the computer to stop and be resumed, and the central processing unit, which allowed all computer functions to be coordinated through one source.
