NSA Create a Yottabytes HDD Capacity (1 Trillion GB)

The NSA is building a 92 903 square meters of indoor areas of storage and costs about $ 2 billion a hard drive. This site plan will be implemented in 2015 to store data yottabyte can be predicted. Well, you certainly seek yottabyte right? Please tell me how much it yottabyte.

How now, yottabyte one knows how much? What is to be saved, perhaps it is possible to provide all the information that exists in this world. Even hard drives of this size, if it detects a 1 TB hard disk space for each use it, we can imagine how much capacity will be difficult to achieve. They calculate and back, the hard drive of about 1,000. But from what I read we, NSA is on the market every time, usually have the latest technology not because of the possibility of using the hard disk capacity from 25 to 100 TB per unit and how, NSA is much large hard disk is considered.

– 1.000 Gigabytes (GB) = 1 Terabytes (TB)

– 1.000 Terabytes (TB) = 1 Petabytes (PB)

– 1.000 Petabytes (PB) = 1 exabytes 

– 1.000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte

– 1.000 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabytes

The Star of the Paris Air Show: An Emission-Free Hypersonic Jet

Boeing showed off its new plane -- and boasted about big, multi-billion-dollar orders for the coming years -- but the real star of the Paris Air Show this past weekend was the ZEHST, which stands for Zero Emission Hypersonic Transportation. It will take about 40 years to build, but the mock-up attracted a lot of visitors when it was displayed at Le Bourget Airport for the oldest and biggest air show in the world.

Seen as the heir to the Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde, the ZEHST will reach speeds of up to 3,125 mph on a mix of oxygen and hydrogen. "The project is being overseen by Airbus' parent company, EADS, based in Toulouse, France," AOL reported. "EADS expects the planes to carry roughly 100 passengers, and expects that the aircraft will be able to launch for a regular runway, omitting the 'sonic boom' noises of the Concorde."

At projects speeds, flights on the ZEHST will take only minutes. A trip from New York to London could be cut down to only about an hour; London to Istanbul, 30 minutes.

"It is not a Concorde but it looks like a Concorde, showing that aerodynamics of the 1960s were already very smart," Jean Botti, innovation and technology director of EADS, told the Daily Mail. "The plane would fly just above the atmosphere, meaning it could fly at more than 3,000 mph."

The New York Post Erects Most Egregious Paywall Yet

Apple iPad users might have been shocked to discover this weekend that navigating to the Post's pages from Safari is no longer allowed

As newspapers and other forms of media continue to struggle with rising printing costs and declining advertising revenues, we've seen a number of different solutions tested, most of them taking the form of digital paywalls that, like traditional subscriptions, require readers to pay for access to content. Some will probably fail and some may succeed, but if the New York TImes' multi-million dollar paywall has taught us anything it's that you need to be very careful how you go about erecting these things.

The Times' paywall, which was only recently put up after the possibility of its construction had been talked about for years, is so full of intentional holes that it operates more like the PBS fundraising model, which is to nudge readers toward giving rather than stealing. It's quiet, operating in the background and, every once in a while, letting you know that you've already read X number of articles for free this month. Don't you think it's time to give a little? The new paywall blocking access to the New York Post is the opposite: It's a digital assault that risks offending readers and turning them to alternative news sources for good.

The New York Post iPad app, which allows you to access everything the paper is publishing from your Apple tablet, costs $6.99/month or $74.99/year. That's less than you'll pay for a print subscription ($14/month or $182/year) but, unlike the New York Times, digital access isn't included with your more traditional purchase; you have to buy that separately, essentially paying twice for much of the content being produced. It's no wonder, then, that many readers have been using the Safari browser on the iPad to navigate to the Post's website instead of purchasing the app directly.

On Saturday, the Post went ahead and put up a paywall, essentially, as Dave Winer put it in his Scripting News story, breaking the Web. Now, any potential visitors who navigate to the paper's website using Safari will run into a poorly conceived wall. You can't even see the newspaper's front page or a list of story headlines before being presented with a full-page message alerting you that "editorial content is now only accessible on the iPad through the New York Post App." Traffic coming through the Post's own Facebook page is also being rerouted, according to Staci Kramer atPaidContent. "Click on a link from within Safari and you end up at the redirect page," she wrote.

Apple iPad users who refuse to pay for access to the website can get around the paywall by using another browser, like Opera Mini or Skyfire. But the vast majority of iPad users are browsing the Web from Safari and will be turned away immediately. There's no way this is going to drive sales. Keep in mind that most tablet users are only accessing the Post for a short period of time: They're commuting and want a quick fix or waiting for a meeting to start and away from their primary computers. It's not worth going to the App Store, paying and waiting to download the app when I can just get my Page Six-style stories elsewhere.

First Look: A Sneak Peek at Microsoft's New Windows 8

Check it out- the new desktop screen for Windows 8, a brand new interface for tablets. At first glance, it is reminiscent of Windows Live Phone Tiles. Some sources suggest that Windows 8 will be a mix of Windows 7, Xbox 360, Microsoft Office, and Windows Phone 7 with some Kinect-like navigation features. So what exactly does Windows 8 have to offer?

First of all, the launch of Windows 8 appears to be an attempt by Windows to mix the best of its products into one computing system. Cellphone features, tablets, the cloud and even gaming have had influence on the development of the Windows 8 experience. The Windows 8 is one OS that will run on 2 versions: regular computers and tablets, scaling from touch-only small screens through to large screens, with or without a keyboard and mouse.
The UI

All apps can be viewed in this tile-based UI, which even has a “thumbs” mode (a clear influence of mobile phones). The animations and multitasking are neat and smooth: swiping right and left reveals the taskbar and the apps page respectively. Snapping allows you to have 2 apps next to each other simultaneously. The main app takes up most of the screen while the secondary app stays docked, allowing you to swap easily and rapidly by swiping to the left to scroll through background applications.
In addition, the context-aware Ribbon interface, which caused a stir in the 2010 Microsoft Office suite, is apparently making its way into Windows 8's Explorer Windows, replacing the drop-down menus and toolbar. This, however, is probably an improvement, making many more of Window's hidden features visibly discoverable. The Ribbon's big buttons are a perfect addition to a touchscreen Windows 8 tablet.


The Cloud

The Explorer Ribbon holds two buttons: Sync and Web Sharing. Microsoft has been angling to push a lot of its services into the cloud, and these buttons show that functionality may be digging deeper into the core OS. The guess is that the Sync button will work like Windows Live Mesh, which synchs program settings across PCs. Web Sharing is likely to be similar to Windows Live SkyDrive, a cloud storage feature that provides 25GB absolutely free.
The Xbox Influence


There is no denying that Kinect hackers have greatly improved the Xbox gaming experience with their DIY tweaks. A talented hacker even made Google's April Fool's joke Gmail Motion come true and used his body to write emails. Encompassing this technology, the leaked Windows 8 blueprints have shown that is that Microsoft plans on using proximity detection and facial recognition to startup and unlock PCs.

In addition, last May, an internal video for Microsoft's "Windows Gaming eXperience" team was discovered, showing the company’s aim to integrate Xbox 360 and Xbox Live to the Internet as a whole, especially social gaming. The platform integration of the future could incorporate Kinect technology to interact with online buddies, play PC games, and much more. Amazingly, Windows 8 requires fewer resources than its predecessor. What’s more, while Windows 7 was available as 32 bits or 64 bits, Windows 8 runs on a 128 bit system, representing a great leap in performance.

A demo video of Windows 8 can be seen below.

Windows 8 is slated for an August 2012 release. Stay tuned.
