StenographerIntel recently released details of a new generation "multi-core" chip. One implication of these powerful chips is that they will soon help users bridge the physical world with the virtual world. One possible application is that the chips — in combination with improved voice recognition technology — will allow small mobile devices to record witness testimony in courtroom proceedings. In other words, we will soon be saying good-bye to the courtroom stenographer — provided, that is, the legal community can unlearn its long-held reliance on courtroom stenographers.
