"Why disc drives are an endangered species" (CNN article, 6 Dec.
2012)
This is basically junk journalism. The author fails to distinguish
between two very different markets - casual / consumer computing and
professional computing. The URL has a glaring tip-off -
"imac-disc-drive".
The article skips over those of us who want to
control our own data and want a media that is inexpensive and highly portable.
Disk drives may be fast and capacious but they are NOT read-only and have their
own set of weaknesses (e.g. power surges, magnetic fields).
Also, the
article fails to mention the existence of market segments that are REQUIRED to
have long-term backups. That why magneto-optical systems are out there - RO /
WORM media is needed for archival storage. I just wish more progress was being
made on holographic media.

"Deep pocket inspection" is what the article in the NZ Herald says.
For a typo it pretty accurately tells the reader what deep packet inspection is
like.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
