Behold the God Box
Why does Moore's Law get all the publicity? The density of hard disk storage doubles every 12 months compared to pokey old Moore's 18-month schtick. So what's the implication of massive, really cheap hard disk storage?

And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.
