See Capacity of World's Largest USB Flash Drive

I guess the sizes of USB flash drives you've come in contact with range from 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and so on. Probably the highest being 128GB of which you prolly never seen.
If you are from the second millennial, this probably won’t surprise you but for those belonging to the age of the first generation windows OS computers, this would really awe them.

From using those 3½-inch Floppy disks which store data of up to 1.44MB, we have advanced to storing a whopping 2TB on a single finger sized USB stick.

Kingston recently unveiled a new pen-drive which can hold up to 2TeraByte(TB) data.
The Micro-SD card and USB pen-drive manufacturer, unveiled the new 2TB Data-Traveler Ultimate GT flash drive. The USB flash drive, offers 2TB of storage space, which is accompanied by a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) performance. This essentially means, that the 2TB Data-Traveler flash drive can store up to 70 hours of 4K video, 96 average-sized PC games, 256000 24-megapixel images, 166 HD movies and 531,344 MP3 songs. Theoretically, the flash drive offers a transfer speed of a whopping 5Gbps.
 It is built out of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance, and features a similar and  sleeker design to the Data-Traveler HyperX Predator 512GB and 1TB flash drives introduced in 2013. It is compact with dimensions of 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm.

Kingston says that it will start shipping Data-Traveler Ultimate GT in February and will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. Kingston is yet  to reveal the pricing for Data-Traveler but of course, it is expected to be pretty expensive considering the fact that each Data-Traveler will be backed by a 5-year warranty and free tech support.

The all new Kingston’s 3-inch 2TB pen-drive will usher in a time when the capacity of USB flash drive will only have capacity range  in TB's alone.
Already, most laptops sold today have a hard disk of up to 1TB capacity.

Waw! Only 50 Engineers Manage WhatsApp's 900 Million Users

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum recently announced on his Facebook page that his company’s instant messaging service is currently used by more than 900 million users worldwide.

This milestone he said,  was achieved with just a small team. At the time of acquisition by Facebook, it had a group of 35 designers and more than 450 clients. Due to the rise in the quantity of WhatApp clients, the designing staff currently consists of 50 architects that runs things naturally.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg quickly reacted to the posts congratulating him and his team.

Facebook is the owner of WhatsApp, as Zuckerberg and company had paid $19 billion to take over the startup more than a year back, suggesting that they now run three of the most predominant web applications. Facebook is used by more than 1.5 billion individuals across the globe, while Facebook’s Messenger, an instant messaging service spans 700 million. In such a scenario, the 900 million-user milestone is a huge achievement for WhatsApp, as it not a product of the powerful Facebook.

Have You Heard? Facebook is Working On A Dislike Button!

Facebook Guru and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook is working on a Dislike button which will be tested soon. Zuckerberg made this announced at a Q&A session at Facebook Headquarters,saying that the Dislike button is the social networking website’s long rumored and one of the most requested features.

“I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years. Today is a special day because today is the day I can say we’re working on it and shipping it,” 

Zuckerberg said.

Though in the past Zuckerberg dismissed the idea, saying it was an idea too negative, people (users) have continued to push and disturb for the button for too many years which prompts his company to release the feature. He hoped that the button won’t be used for showing negative emotions, instead it will be used for expressing empathy.

Zuckerberg said that he didn’t implement the idea earlier as he didn’t want Facebook to develop a Reddit-style system of down-voting and up-voting.

 “What they really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment,”

 He said.
