Researchers squeeze storage breakthrough
A Florida research start-up working with a team of renowned mathematicians said on Monday it had achieved a breakthrough that overcomes the previously known limits of compression used to store and transmit data. If proven and successfully commercialized, the discovery asserted by ZeoSync of West Palm Beach, Florida could overturn half a century of thinking in the field of lossless data compression and undermine business assumptions on which the telecommunications and other digital industries are based. Lossless compression is the process by which computer data can be compacted, stored and then restored with complete fidelity, or zero loss of data. Existing compression techniques typically shed redundant data in order to conserve space.

An interesting news package, the above item being perhaps the most interesting one although it could be just hype... time will tell...

Thanks again, WT!
