10TBNAND_feat
Micron and Intel, and separately Toshiba, have revealed that solid state drives (SSDs) as large as 10 terrabytes will be available to manufacturing partners as early as next year. Ultimately, it’s still pretty early days for the multi-layer chip technologies that make such capacities possible, but devices containing 10TB of SSD storage are at least now on the distant horizon. Micron and Intel say that by using 3D NAND technology, they can fit more than 3.5TBs of storage on a “gum-sized” SSD, and more than 10TB on a standard 2.5-inch drive.

Plague
Remember Plague, the social sharing app with the slightly off-putting name that picked up some steam at the end of last year? We called it ‘Tinder for information” at the time and marvelled at its rapidly growing user base. Now it’s had a confusing name change, rebranding as Plag**, and added a nifty new feature – a map that shows how the content you share is spreading across the world. You can see how it works in the video below, which is accompanied by some appropriately apocalyptic music: The aim of Plag** remains the same as it was when it originally…
