At last, something nice to post about. Western Digital buys company developing ceramic hard drive technology.
Ground-breaking ceramic-based data storage outfit Cerabyte has today announced it has received strategic investment from Western Digital, a move it says will accelerate the development of its ceramic data storage tech.
Cerabyte is a German company seeking to revolutionize data storage. It uses ceramic-on-glass material that the company says is good for 5,000 years of data storage.
Not only is Cerabyte's revolutionary tech designed to be essentially permanent, but it could also pave the way for data storage capacities on a scale hitherto unfathomable – Cerabyte says its next-generation active archives combine multiple storage technologies as we head towards the Yottabite era.
They're boasting that they may be able to get the price down to $1 per terabyte, which would be amazing. But to me the really good part is the durability. Bit-rot is the huge problem nobody has an answer for these days. Five thousand year ceramic storage? Sign me up!
George McIntyre's troubles are not over, as he and Ginny must
learn to get along with their numerous Valkyries and robot girlfriends.
And the police, who are reluctant to cooperate. Jimmy Carlson and Kim
Park solve the Alcubierre warp bubble puzzle, creating a whole new world
of possibilities for trouble. Leading Jimmy to ask Enrico Fermi's
famous question: where is everybody?
Follow George and the Angels as they rescue wild Toasters and find hints of mysterious spacecraft flying past Barnard's Star.
Warning, this book contains Valkyries making fun of the cops, dragons racing mecha suits on the front lawn of Parliament, a giant dog, giant spiders, giant tanks, giants in short skirts, and an airshow.
You have been warned.
Edward Thomas has been at it again, there's a new book to announce!
Angels Incorporated by Edward Thomas
After a long hiatus, Angels' Incorporated is finally here!
George McIntyre thought his troubles were over, and he'd live
happily ever after with Ginny, Charlotte and Brunhilde. Unfortunately
the world doesn't work that way, and new challenges have arrived to test
him and the robots of Angels Incorporated. Mr. Bill is still out there
making zombies, and new indications are found that there could be more
than one alien Toaster on Earth. Possibly one that is older than the
Pyramids.
Join George and the Angels to uncover the truth, and defeat the zombie threat once and for all!
