  I believe they killed that off http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/207897-hp-kills-the-machine-repurposes-design-around-conventional-technologies http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/207897-hp-kills-the-machi...

    Not killed off so much as delayed due to lack of ability to mass produce at a decent price point so far. It is far from scrapped. It was over hyped and optimistic to begin with. It just hit the reality that it has several decades of work to catch up on to be on the same page as current tech.

  While memristors may eventually become an important part of a balanced electrical component diet, I'd say the hype has failed to pan out. Don't hold your breath. Even if it does eventually manifest, it's going to take longer than you can hold your breath.

  Haven't various companies been hyping memristers for years now? Sounds cool, but I'll believe it when I see it.

    I believe the original idea for a memristor came about in 1971 [1]. We still have yet to see it in a physical consumer product. I'm with you - sounds great, but I'll believe it when I see it. http://www.ufpi.br/subsiteFiles/zurita/arquivos/files/Memristor_chua_article.pdf http://www.ufpi.br/subsiteFiles/zurita/arquivos/files/Memris...
