Those old enough to remember the days of manned space flight in the western world will recall that NASA expended considerable resources to come up with a pen that would work in space. Meanwhile, half a world away, the Russians just used a bunch of pencils.
I can't help feeling that story is going to have a new counterpart in the history books. Whilst HP are working on memristor based persistent RAM, someone else just grafted a bunch of flash and a super-capacitor onto a regular DIMM instead. Now I just need the linux guys to come up with a nice API...
New RAM shunts data into flash in power cuts
