Flash Memory to Rival Hard Drives
Skal Tura writes "Samsung will start producing 16 gigabit Nand Flash chips this year, nudging the memory technology towards use in notebook PCs and maybe even edging out hard drives in some products in the next few years."
Good job Samsung. I've got to NAND it to you...
This just in! 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.
The difference between gigabit and gigabyte needs to be explained on Slashdot about as much as the difference between the Moon and the Sun needs to be explained to astronomers.
Judging by that +5, insightful, I'm tempted to make a snide remark about the ruling class (moderators). Why yes, I do have karma to burn.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
If it doesn't fit into a 4 step profit plan or Soviet Russia joke, I'm not really concerned with the technical aspects of anything on Slashdot.
In that case, in Soviet Russia Gb is greater than GB.

Hmmm. 1.4 million divide by 24... that's, uh, carry the one... about 58,333 days. Which would be, uh... ah, ignore the leap years... Almost 160 years. That means they've been testing this hardware since before the Civil War!
Wow, now is that dedication or what? Where do I buy me one of these babies?
