HotShot accomplishes this mostly by absorbing strings of up to 100 Java byte-codes at once, each consisting of eight bits of information.
Technology has provided us with an infinite number of byte-sized ways to record our lives, but maybe what we really need is an easy way to swallow the best bite-sized memories.

In addition, IBM announced that in May it will start supplying in volume two new 20G-byte and 30G-byte Travelstar hard drives to major notebook vendors, including Compaq, Dell, Gateway and the IBM Personal Systems Group.
Not just that: it needed capital to finance a major production shift to the next generation of 64-byte DRAMs that will replace the current 16-byte model late next year.
The 12.5-millimeter high drive weighs in at 5.43 ounces (155 grams), and other features include a 12 millisecond average read seek time and 66.6M-byte per second Ultra DMA mode-4 interface.
The 9.5 millimeter high 20G-byte Travelstar 20GN is aimed at ultra-portables, while the 12.5-millimeter 30GT model is aimed at mainstream notebooks, IBM said.
The 10G-byte hard drive is encased in a stainless steel box, ensuring a few bumps won't disrupt its contents.
Iridian uses a 512-byte code to verify the identity of anyone seeking access to restricted areas and its technology has never allowed access to an unauthorized person, according to the company.
Only a few of these modular components have been designed so far: the AVR-X (an Arduino-compatible microcontroller), FRAM-X (512 byte chunks of stackable Ferroelectric RAM) and ADC-X (an 8-channel analog to digital converter).

System compatibility is also assured through usage of the industry-standard 512 byte sector size.

The key to cracking that nut is apparently the new thermal assisted optical element Fujitsu's developed, allowing for an ultra-tiny sub-hundred nanometer optical spot size, which in turn should enable recording on the one terabit (not byte, let's not get crazy here) per square inch level.
