Mobile phones, iPods and other consumer devices may soon be able to hold a hundred times more information than they do at present thanks to a breakthrough in storage technology.
Scientists at IBM say they have developed a new type of digital storage which would enable a device such as an MP3 player to store about half a million songs - or 3,500 films - and cost far less to produce.
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
Here's our guide to the best GPUs for V Rising in 2024, now that the game is out of early access - the best from Nvidia, AMD, and even Intel.
Again... The stupid use of IPOD in titles.. There not the only damn PMP.
Anyways... good breakthrough.. Hopefully it will come to market soon.
Although this story was already posted on here not to long ago, just from a different source.
No, but theyre the most popular. You want to catch the most people's attention, then talk about the product most people use.
Nice article, through Moore's law states computer technology advancement doubles every 18 months; not 24.
I'd be curious to know the proposed implementation dates for these chips. "Within ten years" sounds a little long to me if they have a workable prototype at this point; but then again, the article doesnt go into cost-effectiveness for mass production. If theyre projecting 2018; these things must cost a fortune right now.
Still, if this is true, all tech could be using them soon. Time to buy stock in IBM...
guhh....
we will be carrying little (only)movie devices like Ipods soon.
Just the matter of time..
Then again only hardcore audio folks will have, such a big library, it seems like the average person has under 5,000 tracks. They still do not listen to everything on there.
Hey new tech is always welcomed.
Whats the point of an iPod holding 3,500 films? I haven't even watched that many films in my life. Cool but pointless for me.
