NanoCollege, LA company launch $10 million partnership   APIC
Corp., a Los Angeles photonics company has forged a $10 million
partnership for the joint development and commercialization of
“green” technology to make computer chips run faster.  The
technology will use optical connections using light versus metal
wiring that conduct electrons in computer chips, allowing
components to be faster and smaller.  The new chips could
increase speed in chips by 60 percent while reducing power
consumption by 90 percent, the college said.  The deal is
expected to create 20 new jobs, many of which would be located
at the Albany NanoTech complex.  Categories: Nanotechnology

to monitor this partnership and see how many of the 20 jobs go
to local people. I’m betting somehwere between 0 and 2
secretarial or janitorial jobs go local due the crummy education
system and high taxes we have here in NY. I’m also willing to
bet that this comapny pays zero taxes.    2.
