Redshift (theory) Redshift (theory) Redshift is a techno-economic theory suggesting hypersegmentation of information technology markets based on whether individual computing needs are over or under-served by Moore's law, which predicts the doubling of computing transistors (and therefore roughly computing power) every two years. The theory, proposed and named by New Enterprise Associates partner and former Sun Microsystems CTO Greg Papadopoulos, categorized a series of high growth markets (redshifting) while predicting slower GDP-driven growth in traditional computing markets (blueshifting). Papadopoulos predicted the result will be a fundamental redesign of components comprising computing systems. According to the Redshift theory, applications "redshift" when they grow
Aspen Skiing Co. v. Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp. Aspen Skiing Co. v. Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp. Aspen Skiing Co. v.
