Interesting article but I realized I don't know much about the subject. I had to look up NAND:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAND_gate talks about the digital logic circuit, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory shows how it's used in solid state storage. OK, now I get it.

Looks like this would make devices thicker, no?

32 layers at 40 nanometers per layer is still very thin. :)

Ah, of course, I'm being stupid. Actually, what threw me off was the image associated with this article - looks like a pretty thick component relative to the thickness of your average "ultra-book" these days.

(bring back netbooks, goddammit!)
