Samsung has issued a slightly vague response to that kicking it took on the BBC's Watchdog last night (above), claiming it's the "innovative and unique features" that hoover up so much of the phone's internal storage space. However, it is looking at, perhaps, optimising things to free up a few more bytes for use. Read More >>

It used to be that you'd have 10GB of storage for your Gmail account, and 5GB to share between your Google Drive and your Google+ pictures. Not anymore: Google just unified all three into a shared pool of 15GB. Read More >>
In a move suggesting there's no more serious a crime in today's society than a rich man's new toy not quite working as advertised, the BBC's investigative TV show Watchdog is planning to shame Samsung over that disparity in advertised and real-world storage space. Read More >>

Last autumn, the Internet Archive celebrated a massive milestone, as the "online Library of Alexandria" reached 10 Petabytes of stored information. Yes, that means 10,000,000,000,000,000 bytes accessible to anyone. Wow. Read More >>
If Tony Stark's fancy suit is good enough for taking down baddies like the Mandarin, surely at least part of his getup must be an effective way to secure your digital paraphernalia?

The keenly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 is just about launched in various parts of the world now, pending suitable amounts of stock arriving in the right places, with early adopters complaining that the so-called 16GB model only lets you actually use 9.5GB from the off, thanks to Samsung's bloated OS customisations that hoover up the storage space.

Samsung has been trying to squeeze as much storage as it can into its latest flash chips, and it's done a good job: these 128-gigabit chunks of silicon are, apparently, the industry's highest density memory storage available. Read More >>
Flashdrives are a dime a dozen these days, hell, you can even get them in cereal boxes. But what if you needed to store something really, really big, and probably confidential on an easy-to-lose stick? Kingston's got you covered with its ludicrously expensive 512GB HyperX Predator USB 3.0 flashdrive. Just imagine how many nuclear codes, confidential files, and how much, errr, porn you could lose on this thing. WikiLeaks eat your heart out. Read More >>

Sometimes a browser needs to leave a little data on your computer: just a little 5-10KB nibblit, a cookie. HTML5 is a hungrier beast than that which came before it though, and sometimes wants a little more. Maybe 5MB or so. But that's where it should end. Thanks to a wee HTML5 vulnerability, however, this site can and will fill your entire hard drive with cats. Read More >>
