    I really wish this were true. And if it is, please, please, please provide even the tiniest shred of proof.

    Bonus points if it made Steve Jobs angry.

    Edit: if this is not true at all, at least write some fun fanfic about it. Who wouldn’t enjoy an episode of Golden Girls: a Day at Apple, 1996?

    Edit 2: Gil Amelio— he wouldn’t like that.













  • this whole concept makes me nervous. also:

    It should be noted that while the method is possible in the lab, it looks rather costly as it requires significantly different read/write heads and more complex platters with two (or more) layers of granular magnetic layers. Granular media, ordered granular media, and then bit patterned media promise to increase the areal density of HDD disks without such extreme complexities, so it is hard to imagine dual-layer and multi-layer media being used in the near future. Yet, once the industry gets to bit patterned media, it might look back and reconsider multi-layer media as a means to increase recording density and HDD capacity.
