Despite how complicated and intimidating they are in practice, FPGAs are really very simple. They’re made of thousands of logic blocks [...]
NAND flash, the same memory chips found in everything from USB thumb drives to very expensive solid state disk drives, are increasingly common. As they (partially) serve as the storage for cellphones, Wiis, routers and just about every piece of consumer electronic devices, you’re probably surrounded by dozens of NAND chips at any one time. [...]
