San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom quickly decided that the shocking scenes of Katrina provided a teachable moment. Newsom unveiled a long-planned public-service advertising campaign last week that will amplify what may be Katrina's most important take-home message survivors of a major emergency will probably need to fend for themselves for the first few days after calamity strikes. The goal is to get as many San Franciscans as possible to assemble--and keep current--a basic emergency kit, including a flashlight, a transistor radio, spare batteries, canned goods and, above all, enough water to last at least three days. If Hurricane Katrina didn't prove it to you, I don't know what will, ... When disaster strikes, we're all going to be on our own for a minimum of 72 hours.

Old tin toys, old radios. He has little soldiers, old board games, transistor radios, luggage, classic luggage. We have way more than what we could put in this studio so we could do this studio many times over with his collections.
Transistor budgets are exploding when you get to 65 and 45 nanometers, and the number of transistors is massive. Every chip is going to have significant blocks of technology, so the interconnects between those blocks would be an interesting place for us to look at.
Oh no, this was before that, I was already in my 20s by the time the 6502 came out. This was all transistor flip-flops. It was a gated adder with a rotary telephone dial as the primary input device.
My access to music when I was growing up was through pirate radio, you know, transistor radio under the pillow, listening to one more and then 'just one more' until your favourite track comes on.
The number of transistors on some chips exceeds one billion, and it is clear that improvements made for individual transistors can multiply into huge benefits for the entire device. Test chips made on Intel's ultra-low power 65nm process technology have shown transistor leakage reduction roughly 1,000 times from our standard process. This translates into significant power savings for people who will use devices based on this technology.
