Gilder's Microcosm sucks- he is an airhead of the first rank.
He said that HDD heads fly at "microns" and that optical will replace magnetic storage. Well HDD heads fly at .01 microns or about 100 Angstroms and optical will never replace magnetic memory as a data technology. Thermo-magnetic assited writing or more commonly called laser assisted writing may help push past the superparamagnetic limits of the order of a few 100 Angstroms or so ultimate bit sizes but it will still be magnetic storage for all practical purposes, write with a thin film pole, read with MR, GMR,CMR. Get the picture- Gilder is but a gadfly on the wall of technology. I am sure he is great at a Harvard cocktail party. HA
