A petabyte can be defined as either 1000 terabytes or 1024 terabytes. The same with the other measures. This leads to endless confusion, which began in the days when K meant either 1000 or 1024. For example, if you had $1K of cash in your left pocket and 1K of RAM cache in your right pocket you'd probably have $1000 plus 1024 bytes!
Rough calculations...
If you stored 12 petabytes in Apple's 500,000 square foot North Carolina data center, that's 1.1E15 bytes in 5E5 square feet, or 2.3E9 bytes/sq. ft. In other words they'd have only about 2GB per square foot. They'll need a lot more data to fill up that building.
So let's figure it out. The latest disk drives might hold 4TB in 490,000 cubic mm, or 0.0173 cubic feet, which means you can store 2.4E5 GB per cubic foot. Let's cut that down to 1E5 to leave room for enclosures and cabling. The data center appears to be a one-story building so let's assume the ceilings leave 10 feet of vertical usable space. That gives us 5E6 cubic feet x 1E5 GB per cubic foot, or 5E11 GB. So they have room for 476,837 petabytes!

Among other things we basically placed them under an oil embargo their need for natural resources and they're inability to attain them from us in a peaceful manner encouraged them to invade.
Also by your logic we are criminally involved in Iraq at the moment. Seeing as they were not aggressors against us, and we had no reason to invade.
The oil embargo was caused by the invasion of Japan to Indochina.
And yes, if the US invaded Iraq without any reason it would be a crime. This would be a whole new debate about if there were enough reasons to justify the Iraq war.

It looks like the field of potential "heirs" to Steve-O's throne is reduced. I will say the Steve Austin robot eye didnt win him any favors. Sad to see him go, bring on the next contestant

It's all perspective. The biceps are closer to the camera than the hands. This is why, when taking pictures of fish, you always extend your arms toward the camera.
Is that where the expression "scaling up the size" is derived from?
I hope to find a blood session this month [last bled in December] but haven't tried taking a picture of myself before.
I have a video of my wife getting a cannula inserted recently (and another one of my daughter having one removed) if any one wants to see some BIG needles. :D :eek:

when i was a senior in high school i slept over my GF house but it was a bunch of people... if their friends are gonna be their yes, but if it just the too of them and their parents aren't home.... then nope i wouldn't....
at least he told you truthfully that he wants to sleep over his GF house, instead of saying he's sleeping over one of his friends house....
Did he give a reason why he wants to... Ie they are going to a club and are going to be home late

After looking around, guess the 1TB 12.5mm hard drives won't fit either in the 2010 Mac Minis. Guess I'll be removing the optical drive then and installing it there... :p
Anyways, I will know for sure when I rip into my unibody Mini tomorrow :D

i have to reply again:
i'm really liking this app!! it's super fast and i love the fact that i can choose from a list of my friends to send an @ to multiple peeps (like bandmates, project members, etc.)
the only thing that seems VERY slow is the initial linking to the phones addy app...
is everyone having the same problem with that? when i hit the addy card on someone's profile, it takes about 20-30 seconds until it transfers to the iphone's addy app.

Ha ha, I was thinking of this exact same Jude Judy case :) I can't believe people here are saying there's nothing wrong with this listing. It is absolutely in Ebay's interest to make sure these scammer ads are done away with.

I hope one of these versions is CDMA. GSM would be more practical from a non-locked, carrier-agnostic perspective, but I'd find it hard to give up the EvDO.
Don't hold your breath, at least we haven't heard anything about CDMA

Apple should really diversify their suppliers anyway, which is what they look like they are doing. Cut Samsung supply by 50%, and threaten all of it if they don't get their act together. Surely Samsung doesn't think that that they can bring in this kind of revenue on their own merit. Outside of LCD televisions, Samsung has an image problem, and even that has only improved in the last few years.

I'm a 3D Artist and while waiting for a render to finish I made this for fun... If anyone wants me to make another one or one with your logo in it let me know! I have time to kill this weekend while I render.

The 7-hour battery estimate is supposed to be more precise. I'm in the US and the MacBooks were just updated recently.

Not sure how people have gotten the idea that only Google has map data...
Maps are old, people. They've been digitized for a damn long time. There are good sources of data available should Apple want to go in that direction.
Now, when you talk about StreetView, yeah, that may be something of an issue.
Yes, Navteq and Tele Atlas own the market when it comes to road data. However, these days maps are so much more than road information. Google has spent quite a few years obtaining data on places (w/ reviews), streetview, satellite images, etc. They obtain their information from more than just google maps users as well. I'm not sure how Apple can start from scratch and be able to match that kind of data that Google has.

Ok so ive just discovered the joys of Geektools today so ive been playing around with that. Got 3 variations running the same scripts but with different wallpapers.....
All very Apple based as you can probably tell! Think I prefer the first one!!
Mind posting a link to the original first picture? Searched with Tineye.. nothing. :(

How about fixing the bug where listening to home sharing from your iDevice doesn't update play counts in iTunes like its suppose to. Not sure if it's a iOS bug or a iTunes bug but it doesn't work on either Windows or OS X.
Made a post here about it and on the official Apple boards and haven't found a single person who said it works for them. Only people who are also complaining about it.
