    Default Look how technology evolves while on a 4 day vacation!

    Harvard cracks DNA storage, crams 700 terabytes of data into a single gram

    really? I haven't been this excited since.... well, ever.

    on another note, my vacation to Yosemite was awesome! save for a camera malfunction... also, another note. 500th post. WOO!

    Sure it has great potential for massive storage. Questions are when will it be available on the market, what are the read/write speeds, and who's gonna be the first to RAID a couple dozen of them?

    Not this decade. Too long. Never. Don't forget price.

    It's cool though.


    EDIT: Cale, am I your doppelganger or vice versa?
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

    I'm seriously still waiting for applications for memristor technology... which was discovered a few years back and theorized even longer.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor

    There have been quite a lot of discoveries that have yet to come forth.

    Mentally overclocked/mentally underclocked. If you're not too into being the evil one, may I? Those with higher IQs have less criminal tendencies, so it's only right.
