The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Google and the NSA must be rubbing their hands with glee at this prospect.

    Great. Now the NSA will put ALL the data of the US citizens on a single chip and lo and behold, some sloppy NSA agent will misplace it and someone will have access to everyone's personal information.

    The whole problem with this technology and "archiving for future generations" is you would need the technology to read it. Heck, technology changes so fast, in 100 years someone could come across one of these and have no idea how to read it or have any technology that can do so.

    I can see this used as a new media for super hi-def video/audio if the read speeds are decent. Imagine the pr0n collection you could store! :p
