Hitachi Goes Perpendicular

Posted by Zonk on from the get-perpendicular dept.

Nimrangul writes "Hitachi has recently announced perpendicular recording with their harddrives, allowing for 10 times the data storage on a disk, meaning 20 G microdrives are on their way as soon as 2007. Hitachi is so pleased with this technological development that it has broken into song." This is, without a doubt, the most surreal thing I've seen today. Flash Required.

    I'd hardly say that's failing. That was really well done. I loaded it up, expecting it to be stupid and hating it. Not only did I learn something (recalling the huge uninformed slashdot debate earlier in the week when the story first broke), but it was very amusing. Just enough tongue-in-cheek not to be condescending, but silly enough to be followed by total gits.

    I'm not quite old enough for the Schoolhouse Rock stuff, but I've seen a few snips here and there (I'm not quite yet 30).
