Everything is going as I have forseen... well, almost. 1 terabyte drives are almost a reality! My original prediction was that the unholiest of relics, the 1 TB drive, would be unveiled on June 6, 2006 (6-6-06) and spawn the end of the world. Nazis will ride on dinosaurs and bring a new world order, the dead will walk the earth, and FOX will sign Elizabeth Taylor to her own reality show. How did I reach such a conclusion? Let me explain...

Hard drive capacities have been climbing higher and higher, and scientists have been butting heads with the laws of physics. One of these physical laws is the "super-paramagnetic effect", which means when magnetized bits get too close to each other, they lose magnetism and essentially erase the bit on the platter. Scientists have employed several clever tricks to get around these physical laws, pushing data densities higher and higher. The latest of these techniques that makes terabyte drives possible is perpendicular recording.
