    Friedrich Nietzsche 'Wollen wir durch die Wissenschaft den Menschen ihren Stolz wiederrgeben, wie sie ihn aus Kriegen davon trugen, so muss die Wissenschaft gefährlicher werden. Fundamental part of human existence; the desire of the small to the great, the people to the stars. Technology as the 'production of the superfluous' as tOrtega y Gasset wrote 'today as well as in stone age.'

    "Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called software." — Unknown

  • Seagate established its Pittsburgh research center in 1998 to capitalize on the intellectual capital of Carnegie Mellon University's Data Storage Center and moved into its new Strip District building in 2002. Its work concentrates on discovering technologies that won't find their way into products for four to 10 years. Kryder, formerly director of the Carnegie Mellon center, said that means that while early research on perpendicular recording was done in Pittsburgh, development of the drives using the technology being unveiled this week had already been transferred to other parts of the company by 2002. His 150 researchers have largely moved on to the next promising technology, called heat-assisted magnetic recording, which Kryder said will likely begin to replace perpendicular recording starting in about five years. Seagate's research into the new method is being done in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon, two other universities and other companies and half of the work is being subsidized by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
