The LTO tape consortium (led by HP, IBM and Quantum) has a public tape product roadmap that will take magnetic tape technology out to about 13 TB of native (uncompressed) storage capacity.
Magnetic levitation technology, which currently powers high speed trains in places like Japan and Europe, could potentially be used to build a railroad capable of launching material into space, according to a report by Gizmag.
Grand plans for European-style double-decker trains were rejected as impractical, as were schemes for a high-speed rail route (run, in the wildest of dreams, on magnetic-levitation technology) connecting London to the north.
The conference included many papers on various aspects and issues in energy assisted magnetic recording (HAMR is one version of this) as well as a technology called shingled magnetic recording where magnetic recorded tracks are written offset from each other giving a higher track density and thus more storage capacity.
"Ensuring that your checkout process and, more important, the credit card form are well-secured will guarantee your customers feel safe when transmitting their information, " says Pat Kaeowichien, director of information technology for Magnetic, a Tampa-based Web-development firm.
