Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action How’s this for amazing and slightly spooky? YouTube user okreylos has managed to get inside a Kinect and extract the bits that allow him to create 3D video captures of what the device “sees.”
We love the idea of holographic storage. It’s just so Star Trekish. But at $US18,000 per drive and $US180 per 300GB disc, it’s really not that exciting, which is probably why InPhase has folded. [The Register]
Here’s another spin on how many bits can be fit on a disc. Some tech heads in European universities have figured out how to squash 500GB of data onto a regular HD DVD or Blu-ray disc. The Microholas project have developed a microholographic technique that utilises “periodic nanostructures in the disk volume rather than on the surface as in conventional optical storage systems.”
The profs behind the technology say they’re aiming towards secure long-term storage but we reckon the universe is abound with worthier causes: for one thing, single-disc DVD editions would be less criminal… Plus, Batman marathons and Simpsons refreshers will no longer have to involve actually vacating those comfortably-warmed seats. Except for bodily functions. Damn! Perfection foiled. -Anna King University boffins squeeze 500GB onto a DVD [The Register]
