Toshiba announced the release of what seems to be the 1.8 inch harddisk, with the largest storage capacity in the world. To achieve such performance, the HDD employs perpendicular magnetic recording.

The Toshiba harddisk, although it has the dimensions of a bank card, it offers 100 GB of storage space unformatted. The HDD unit, MK1011GAH, contains two platters of 50 GB and four writing/reading heads. The rotating speed is 4200 rpm, with an access time of 15ms.

Mass production of the harddisk will begin January next year, according to Toshiba.

Four major media companies joined together to compete against Youtube.

News Fox, Viacom, CBS and NBC Universal joined their forces to create a new website specialized in video clips to compete against the famous Youtube, which was purchased by Google this year. Even if the negotiations are still in progress, the officials want to make a website that will become the main source on the internet for their shows and movies.

The purpose of this is the rising profit of online advertisement. Another goal is the development of a web video player that will be used to view video clips. The business looks extremely profitable, if the four companies relate to the earnings of Youtube, which, in less than two years evolved very fast, being the most known site for video clips, with a daily access rate of over 100 million video clips.

Although many of the clips published on Youtube are made by amateurs, the most watched are pirated tv shows, so a lot of media companies threatened the website with lawsuits.

Walt Disney, which owns the ABC television network, didn’t attend to the negotiations, because it wants to rely on the power of it’s own brands.
