A layer of magnetic, semiconductor or metallic material that is thicker than the microscopic layers of the transistors on a chip. For example, metallic thick films are silk screened onto the ceramic base of hybrid microcircuits. Contrast with thin film.

Way too much scrolling around.Not ANOTHER DEVICE?!?!? ARGGGGGG!!!This is getting stupid.Why so serious?Are you...

- Google's campaign for Apps doesn't address the IT data elephant in the room
- Updated: Google has launched a "Go Google" marketing push for Google Apps touting cost savings and recruiting users to spread the word. The campaign---modeled after Mozilla's Firefox marketing efforts---makes sense for browsers, but for skeptical IT buyers, Google drops the ball. Why? Google's campaign...

- ViewSonic VX1962wm - flat panel display - TFT - 19"
- Despite its good performance in games, smart design, and a high 1,680x1,050 resolution, we do not recommend the ViewSonic VX1962wm because Westinghouse has a 19-inch LCD that's cheaper and a better performer. A slightly blurry picture during DVD playback also detracts from the ViewSonic's appeal, and we noticed a yellowish...

- Longtime CNET readers may remember when we complained last year that Mitsubishi's 120Hz equipped LCDs lacked video processing to smooth out judder, and so didn't deserve the "Smooth" description that the company used in its product literature. This year its lineup, including the LT-46148, finally deserves the word, because now...
