Really interesting. Mid-2003 is when I started at Microsoft. Though: out in MSN, not where the action was. :) Has Moore's Law really broken down that severely 'lately'? I'm reminded of one of Kurzweil's books that shows 'Moore's Law' holding since before digital computers. But - the book shows - zoomed in, the trend line is actually a succession of periods of fairly rapid growth followed by stagnation. (Obviously though one question is how cherry-picked the underlying data was...) Edit: The book was The Singularity is Near.
