PROTEIN-COATED DISK!
holy stuff, a single disk that can store up to 10tb?I can only imagine how unimaginably expensive the apparatuses for reading/writing these things are.
Here let me get $15,000 to play one of those discs real quick.
Are you kidding, I thought floppys were the next best thing. D:
Holy crap.
Protein-Coated Disc (PCD) is a theoretical optical disc technology currently being developed by Professor Venkatesan Renugopalakrishnan, formerly of Harvard Medical School and Florida International University. PCD would greatly increase storage over Holographic Versatile Disc optical disc systems. It involves coating a normal DVD with a special light-sensitive protein made from a genetically altered microbe, which would in principle allow storage of up to 50 Terabytes on one disc. Working with the Japanese NEC Corporation, Renugopalakrishnan's team created a prototype device and estimated in July, 2006 that a USB disk would be commercialised in 12 months and a DVD in 18 to 24 months.[1] However, no further information has been forthcoming since that time.The technology uses the photosynthetic pigment bacteriorhodopsin created from bacteria.
That doesn't make any sense...He was talking about floppy disks.. and you post a pic of a pokemon??
Somebody jizzed on a disk and this is the result? ಠ__ಠ
