Data storage for PCs

Think getting 64G bytes on a flash drive is pretty amazing, how about storing (and recovering) 700 Terabytes in one gram if material?  They have been trying for years, but it looks like someone has really figured out how to store computer data using DNA.

This is a good read.

Not only are things changing, they just keep changing faster.

What an interesting way to store data--simple in some respects and very complex in others. While processing it is still an issue, now that it is available, people will be falling all over themselves competing to find ways to use the data profitably. Storing that amount of data in such a small space must have people with lots of data to store drooling all over themselves!
