many experts were saying Moore’s Law had flattened out.

Mebbe not...

How dense? “We want you to be able to store your entire life; think of 100 terabytes on your smartphone,” Fink said. That’s more than a thousand times the storage an iPhone 5S has today.

Yeah...also, think of your "entire life" being dropped in the toilet or washed overboard from the deck of the sailboat. Think of your "entire life" being chucked into the storm drain by an angry significant other. Think of your "entire life" dropped into the monkey exhibit at the zoo by your fun-loving three year old. Think of your "entire life" tossed and crushed by your constantly inebriated roommate under the wheels of the monster truck he owns, purely as a practical joke.

Just think of the possibilities!

HP sold off all its photonic experts 7-10 years ago.
Those engineers are all working for much better companies.

HP has a rep now of being a very bad place to work unless you like being micro managed.

I will Never step foot in an HP site ever again.

I saw a related report yesterday. If it is the same thing, HP's technology might reduce a football field-sized data center to a refrigerator.
THE MACHINE: HP Unveils Revolutionary Computer That Could Shrink A Data Center To The Size Of A Refrigerator

The following link will give an idea of a Google "football field" data center.

Google Throws Open Doors to Its Top-Secret Data Center

If drastic size reduction is what HP is claiming with its new technology, then I'm all for it.

“Your entire life” and the NSA’s ability to catalog it.

Wonderful.

How much of that 100TB would you access in a day, month, year or lifetime? I think I would rather have fast cloud access speed.

That’s all well and good but download speed would have to improve radically in order to capitalize upon it even if it were to come into fruition.
