This year's Cantrill talks include one on Ethical Dilemmas [0] and another on the "Moore's Law" paper [1]. Highly recommend both. [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]

Bryan Cantrill has a great talk on this and the end of scaling [VIDEO] It really seems like we are going to see new architecture paradigms emerge and start seeing more powerful compute in smaller places.

Actually Moores law is dead. His prediction was not transistors would get smaller. His prediction was initial that for 10 years was that density would double every year. And then later that it would double every 18 month. And this held longer then even he thought. But it has ended. While things still get denser, its no longer on that same trend.
