TeraStor develops advanced storage technology
Article Abstract:
TeraStor rewritable Near Field Recording technology can enable a tenfold increase of data per square inch of disc space compared with conventional technologies. Near Field Recording uses a combination of elements of both magnetic hard drives and optical drives. TeraStor plans to market the first drives for 20GB removable discs early in 1998, to soon be followed by 40GB disc drives. The 20GB discs can store about four times as much data as the largest magneto-optical discs in the market. The cost is expected to be about $500 for the drive and $100 for the plastic media. Seagate Silicon Systems will make the read/write head systems, Imation will make the recording media and Texas Instruments will make integrated circuits for the drives. If they perform as advertised, TeraStor's Near Field Recording drives could replace removable hard disk drives, magneto-optical drives and tapes.

Scanning for gold
Article Abstract:
A large differentiation exits between the archive scans of an ideal world and the real world archive scanning being conducted by companies such as Corbis. Ideally, an archive scan would be a high-resolution, unmanipulated RGB file that gathers as much image information as possible. The high costs of such ideal imaging relegates the actuality of image archiving to a standard of prepared digital images consumable for commercial use. The standard is based on individual consumer and commercial needs, but it is always far below the ideal kind of data. Digital stock agencies such as Corbis are expected to grow from around 20 in 1996 to 400 by 1999. Niches will develop as these companies form, falling into categories of canned animation for onscreen publishing, low-resolution images for Web publishing and high-resolution images for traditional print publishing.

Pulp fashion: five designers push the limits of specialty papers
Article Abstract:
Unusual, innovative design work is still being done on specialty paper, despite the pervasive influence of the Web. For example, Flaunt magazine, which focuses on pop culture and extreme fashion, accepts high production costs and various production problems as acceptable prices to pay for an unusually beautiful product. For another example, Tharp, a designer based in Los Gatos, CA, used Le Desktop's Golf paper for invitations to the introduction of Time Warner's Virtual Garden Web site. The paper is made from golf-course grass clippings, and the uncoated cream stock is dotted with greenish flecks of grass blades. Nesnadny and Schwartz, based in Cleveland, designed an annual report for Progressive, an Ohio insurance company. The report, titled True Stories, looks like an illustrated novel.
