See this image? It could be printed on a human hair.

The highest possible resolution images — about 100,000 dots per inch — have been achieved, and in full-colour, with a printing method that uses tiny pillars a few tens of nanometres tall. The method, described today in Nature Nanotechnology1, could be used to print tiny watermarks or secret messages for security purposes, and to make high-density data-storage discs.

Yay high density storage disks :). I want a 100TB one please.

That'd be great, but how on Earth do you plan to plug something the size of a human hair into a USB port? Also, I could see myself losing something that small. I already have trouble finding my keys, my netbook, my cat, and my apartment (when it's dark outside).

That's funny, I have no problems finding human hair-sized things all over my house. In the bathroom sink, stuck to the couch, on the carpet... :p

Oh I was thinking the drive would be like a 2.5" drive :). Though in that case it will prob be a yotabyte. Either way I want one for my future NAS :).

Well, if you don't wear underpants to catch all that stuff when you're at home, what else would you expect? ;) Come to think of it, I usually don't have trouble finding cat hair everywhere. I know he sheds near my laptop on purpose so that it gets too hot and fails which will clear space in my lap for him. >.<
