The emails between him and the other defendants, basically the most important evidence used by the DA.

  1. How do you think the near future (2015-2020) is going to turn out, considering the massive headaches involved in feature shrink below nine or so nanometers? What is the most likely direction of development in that timeframe - 3d nanostructures? New substrate?

  2. Given that a ten nm process will easily fit five if not ten billion transistors onto a consumer-sized (< 200 mm2) die, how are those transistors going to be used? Multicore has worked reasonably well as a stopgap after the disasterous Netburst architecture proved that humans weren't smart enough to build massive singlecore. Do you foresee more than six or eight cores in consumer chips? Will it just go into stupid amounts of cache? Will it be all-SoC? Will the improvements be realized in same-speed, low-power chips on tiny dies?

  3. Intel has historically been the very best when it comes to CPUs and the worst when it comes to GPUs. As a casual industry observer (albeit with a master's in computer architecture), it seems improbable that many competitors - if any - will be able to keep up if Intel can deliver the current roadmap for CPUs. So how about those GPUs? Larrabee was a disaster, the current Atom PowerVR is an ongoing train wreck. Can we expect more of the same?

What do you see as the future of file sharing?
Is it more encryption and decentralization a la magnets, PEX etc? A return to sneakernets when 1 TB USB sticks become commonplace? Or do you hope against hope for less control and limitation of online rights?
