they didn't even get Moore's Law correct. way to go CNN - what a joke of a news org. The correct time period is 18 months not 12.
on the plus side, they did list Steven Colbert
everyone who has taken their first class of EE (most commonly Assembly Language) knows about Moore's Law.

Moore's law is the observation that over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel executive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster)
