Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes… What Are They?
These terms are usually used in the world of computing to describe disk space, or data storage space, and system memory. For instance, just a few years ago we were describing hard drive space using the term Megabytes. Today, Gigabytes is the most common term being used to describe the size of a hard drive. In the not so distant future, Terabyte will be a common term. But what are they? This is where it gets quite confusing because there are at least three accepted definitions of each term.
According to the IBM Dictionary of computing, when used to describe disk storage capacity, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes in decimal notation. But when the term megabyte is used for real and virtual storage, and channel volume, 2 to the 20th power or 1,048,576 bytes is the appropriate notation. According to the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary, a megabyte means either 1,000,000 bytes or 1,048,576 bytes. According to Eric S. Raymond in The New Hacker’s Dictionary, a megabyte is always 1,048,576 bytes on the argument that bytes should naturally be computed in powers of two. So which definition do most people conform to?

Kourtney Kardashian has outsourced her beauty to India.
The reality star is featured in a sexy pictorial as part of that country’s November issue of Maxim. Indeed, critics can say what they want about Kourtney – she’s annoying, starved for attention, talentless, unashamed to exploit her child for publicity and money… – but it’s hard to deny Kourtney is by far the best looking of all these Kardashian sisters.
Unfortunately, we can’t even sit back and enjoy that fact because only one thought crosses our minds when looking at the pics below: Scott Disick gets to go home every night and tap this?!?
