Sleep Talking PCs by Microsoft & UCSD

more....A device called Somniloquy processes network traffic autonomously, allowing a computer's CPU, hard disk, and display to be powered down.
Researchers at Microsoft and UCSD created a network adapter dubbed Somniloquy (meaning to talk in one's sleep) that can process network traffic autonomously, allowing a computer's CPU, hard disk, display, and I/O buses to be powered down without losing connectivity.
The Microsoft-UCSD network interface (described in this paper) could take over many network-related tasks like bit torrent file-sharing, and managing a remote desktop connection and a VOIP account, allowing the connected machine to enter sleep mode without losing its network link.
