Take the incident at JP Morgan Chase. Chase PR was on the point about keeping the public in the know that at no time was their money under threat. You can't tell me this was anything other than coordinated or even orchestrated. After k

Now we have SSD which means a small one-step-backward for storage. However, we will supposedly have 10TB SSD and beyond within a couple of years which should give some breathing room. Even with all this development, I doubt we will be able
