It’s all over torrent trackers and other file sharing networks (including the meatspace “can you burn me a copy” network).

That’s only step one, of course. Without a valid key to activate your copy, you’re dead in the water eventually.

The new drives promised a couple of performance enhancements, including a reduction of latency, as well as a more energy-efficient storage solution, taking advantage of the technological advancements enabled by

the 34nm manufacturing process. However, it appears that the company has reportedly delayed shipments of its new 34nm SSDs due to a recently discovered issue with the drives’ firmware.

Once completed, Fab 2 will stand as the most technologically advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility, or fab, in the world and the largest leading-edge semiconductor foundry in the United States. The construction and ramp-up phases for the new $4.2 billion facility are expected to take approximately three years to complete, with volume production expected in 2012.

A video released by AMD last month shows the same process. (Kudos to Intel for creating an original name for their article.)

While we’ve still got a few months to go before hitting 2010, I thought I should get a head start on the whole best/worst roundup fad that’s about to flood the Internet (Time magazine has already done the 10 Biggest Tech Failures of the Last Decade, but it was pretty lame; this one’s much better, I swear).
