"At the time of the company's first press release, it took more than a day to squash a random 128-bit file--about 16 letters in ASCII, the most basic computer font--into just 100 bits. "
emphasis mine.
Does anyone need to read any further to know this guy does not know what the hell he is talking about?
Why did cnet write up this useless article. It contains NO new information. I wasted 5 minutes of my day reading that garbage.
cnet deserves to be spammed for posting this un-news. Clearly they must be on the take.
I don't know whether there is anything to this or not. It could be real and it could be that 'this guy does not know what the hell he is talking about'.
However, I can't help but wonder what kind of reaction the guy(s) who first proposed the crazy idea that you could compress data got from the industry 'experts'?
Why is it that the first ones to come forward with an idea that seems to be impossible and break every 'law' that we rely on are seen as idiots and fools?
Remember the reaction of the Swiss watch makers when the Japanese introduced the quartz watch? In fact, it is ironic that the concept of the quartz watch came from a Swiss watch maker.
Maybe the paradigm is shifting. Maybe there is something to this 'new compression' scheme. Maybe it's young technology and just needs to be developed. Maybe it is all BS and a hoax. Time will tell. |
