Best of What's New

Popular Science is one of my favorite magazines, and I've been subscribing to it since 1968. They've given out their Best of What's New awards to the best innovative technologies of 2005. Here are their awards for computer tech.

Toshiba Perpendicular Magnetic Recording is the grand prize winner for computer technology this year.

Perpendicular recording, a new way of writing data to a hard disk, creates the possibility of having a 10-gigabyte hard drive in your cellphone or a terabyte of space on your laptop. Just as the physical limits of traditional recording methods are being approached, Toshiba came out with this winner, 20 years in the making.

Other nominees included:
