IBM developing high-speed download solution, promises 160Gb/s downloads

Researchers showed a prototype optical transceiver chipset today that they say will allow people to download movies or share online data eight times faster than current technology allows. The chipset can move data at 160Gigabits by representing information as light pulses instead of electrons and could be used for both corporate and consumer applications as soon as 2010, IBM said.
IBM doubles CPU cooling capabilities with simple manufacturing change

IBM's find addresses how thermal paste is typically spread between the face of a chip and the heat spreader that sits directly over the core. Overclockers already know how crucial it is to apply thermal paste the right way: too much, and it causes heat buildup. Too little, and it causes heat buildup. It has to be "just right," which is why IBM looked to find the best way to get the gooey stuff where it needs to be and in the right amount, and to make it significantly more efficient in the process.

optical fiber does that... now run the fiber to my house :P

 

but you need a system that can process/store that much data in the 1 second time... theory behind should be doable
