News: For A Bigger Computer Hard-drive, Just Add Water

[hangmanz]

Advancements in ferroelectric technology could point to
nanotechnology reaching your doorstep sooner than expected:

Imagine having computer memory so dense that a cubic
centimeter contains 12.8 million gigabytes (GB) of information.

Imagine an iPod playing music for 100 millennia without
repeating a single song or a USB thumb-drive with room for
32.6 million full-length DVD movies.

Now imagine if this could be achieved by combining a computing
principle that was popular in the 1960s, a glass of water and
wire three-billionths of a meter wide. Science fiction? Not
exactly.

Cool find! I'll probably have to take out a second mortgage to afford it, but I can do it!

Zounds! This is very interesting, however the technology is not there yet. I poured some water on my hard drive and all it did was spark, fizzle and smoke, then go dead. Guess I have to wait until they perfect it. Besides, I am not too fond of being an early adopter.

How about: "How much music can you're Ipod hold??"

All of it.

Every bit of music ever recorded.. When you buy a music player it could come with all of it, preloaded, and have room to add more.

All the music ever...?


and ust how much are you expecting to pay for this ipod with all the music ever?


Oh well Bill Gates and the Queen might be able to afford one..............
