Yottabyte

Yeah, that's what I asked. What the heck is a yottabyte? As the guys at Gizmodo describe it, that's about 1,000,000,000,000,000GB and it would fill a datacenter the size of Delaware and Rhode Island.... oh, that's not the bad part. The cost? About $100 trillion dollars. It sounds neat but who the hell would need something like that?

Yep, the friggin' NSA. They need lots of 1's and 0's for all that big brothery type stuff (aka, your formerly private stuff). I mean, they can get cash like GM and a what better use for a warehouse in Utah that's just looking for a purpose. Sad, sad. Also, reminds me to invest in Reynolds Wrap 'cause I'm gonna need to make more tin foil hats.
