Data Transfer Has A Speed Limit

ChrisHanel writes "Yahoo News is reporting that despite the infinite climb data speeds seem to be making, scientists at Stanford say we'll eventually hit a barrier due to the inability to keep the data stable after a certain transfer speed. But no worries just yet; the watermark they've set is still 1,000 times faster than what we have now." Apparently: "The scientists confirmed this problem by firing up the particle accelerator at Stanford University and blasting electrons at a piece of the magnetic material used to store computer data."

only 1000 times faster?

So eventually we'll hit a brick wall in speeding up our ability to download pr0n? The end is near!

You keep using that word watermark. I don't think it means what you think it means.
