Looks like a big boost for digital camera aficionados. Storage has been a big problem in that area. If IBM can make this technology affordable, it might be a good time to unload any wet film stock you have ...

breakthroughs like these end up with smaller, lighter, faster, and more energy efficient tools.
The savings on energy use alone is worth it.

Nice!
Hope it is available soon.

Oh, can't wait for this....
Sorry sir, you need to defrag your system - click start, programs, accessories, system tools, disk defragmenter, and call us back in a year.

Don't laugh. It will take this much memory to run the next version of Windows.

To: Wright is right!
Windows Gargantua 2010 .. It'll probably take 4 GB to boot .. Instant ON ... Go Fish!! .. You wish.. Altho you would think with a trillion or whatever 1-terabit is, it should be reasonably fast... maybe not a quantum leap forward, but at least a mighty fine jump ahead

It's much faster to simply copy all your files from one partition to another & then back again. Way faster defrag, if you've got the space. There are some caveats having to do with system files, but it's still better than most of the defraggers on the market today.

It's much faster to simply copy all your files from one partition to another & then back again While that may be true for you and me, you try explaining to Melvin Wirbelsturm of Podunk, (Pick a state), that he's going to have to copy all the files from one partition then back again. Then explain to him that "right click" means click on the left mouse button, and "right click" means click on the right mouse button.

Doy! It's too late at night to be typing. To quote Pete Adams, my favorite cartoonist (
Sluggy Freelance), "That's it, I'm going back to bed."
Oh - Sluggy is going to load slow - the plot has been twisting really well here lately, and it gets bogged down at the midnight update.

Sounds like Melvin was the one who called into tech support years ago complaining that his word processor program wouldn't work, and after a long series of questions, finally said, "We're having a power outage here right now." To which the tech dude said, "Ah, now I know how to solve your problem. Pack up all the parts to that computer, take them all to UPS, and ship them back to us, because you're too XXXXXXX stupid to own a computer!"
Word is, that tech got fired. IIRC, he was with WordPerfect, back when WP was a very good software company.

Dear G-d, that's absolutely psychotic.

Speaking of Podunk Willard.
I have been over on a thread where the topic is
How do I get rid of my "Posts" on my history
It is a riot!
To: savedbygrace
I can tell you some "true tales of tech support." Worked laptop/desktop support for a major manufacturer for 2.5 years.
The guy who wanted to make sure his laptop was ok after the house got struck by lighting. He was using it, during the thunderstorm, with no AC power or telephone/network cables connected, sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, playing solitaire while the storm raged on. "Sir, you weren't connected to AC or any wall outlets, your machine should be fine. How can I tell? Well, it's running right now, correct??"
The tiger that knocked a laptop off the end table.
The woman in high heels, a hardwood floor, and a portable computer on the other side of the room. She made four trips to the machine before I suggested that she bring it over to the phone.
The naked woman.
The Italian couple who would argue with each other (they both had telephone receivers) in Italian (my own little opera) for five minutes, then talk to me, then start arguing again.
Ahh - the good old days
