    It's not a dupe. The previous article said that 64 Gb chips could be combined into a 128 GB device. Now they can combine 64 Gb chips into a 512 GB device. A huge advance!

      Maybe human beings are just porn's way of making more porn.

      War also provides a big push. Now imagine how fast progress would be with more military porn.

      Hey, sailor...

    You could use the same logic to conclude that 512 terabyte solid-state media is on the way.

    Have you considered getting a job as a futurist? At this point I can guarantee that your track record will be better than many of the ones actually out there.

    Does everything in the damn world have to be blamed on Vista? Next on Slashdigg: The fires in California - Vista responsible?

    Well, umm. Vista takes up more processor time, runs the computer hotter.

    Computer running hotter means more power used.

    Power generation contributes to global warming.

    Global warming contributes to increased forest fires.

    Therefore, it follows:

    Vista is responsible for the fires in California.

    What could possibly be more logical?
