Very interesting read, I think their would be a lot of mixed opinions on this. Love the theme that you are using, what is it?

looks like somebody hacked Antek peripherals, http://antekperipherals.com/, all the pages say “This web site suspected of containing SPYWARE” — I’m not running any safe-surfing software.

Tell me how much the hard drive costs and where I can buy one. If I can’t buy it somewhere then neither can google. I don’t particularly care if google buys them, but if I can buy a boatload of economical and energy efficient storage I have collections of stuff that I can store there…

Ah, Bob Cringely.

My favorite clown.

He writes about power efficiency in the same article he talks about driving cross-country in his Winnebago!

Has he no sense of irony? Apparently not.

Hey Bob, why don’t you put your analyitical skills to use calculating how much CO2 you spewed into the atmosphere? Frankly, if I were you, I’d leave the wife at home, throw a tent in the hatch of the Prius and go light. If I needed a vehicle. Or perhaps take a train? But I bet that didn’t occur to you, you are too busy self-absorbed in your MFD babble.

I’m very happy for Google.

What about the rest of America?

Bob, I must be in the minority here, because this post made me excited — if you are complaining about some company not interested in using your MFD products, it must mean that Antek Peripherals has some products ready to be tested out! And in real-world situations!

This is great news. I presume that your silence on this subject over the past few years has been required by the delicate negotiations with manufacturers, and now Google, in getting products out the door and into the market. So we can’t expect to hear much more from you about it until there is a ‘win’ of some sort — either some company testing them in the real world, or products being manufactured that could be bought and tried by us guinea pigs.

Hope it works out, it does SOUND good.

But I’m sorry to hear that Google hates you and that you’ve decided to burn all official bridges with them by publicly airing the dirty feud laundry.

I would be surprised if Google wouldn’t jump to evaluate any technology that isn’t vapourware, even pre-market engineering test hardware. I suspect that the reason why Google isn’t using or considering Antek MFD’s is because like EEStor units, they are fantastical world changing technology that doesn’t actually exist.

How much did you blow on them Bob?

Cost and Capacity.
SSD’s cost far more than standard disks, and have far less capacity per cubic inch.
