Nerd Gear: Magnetic HDD recording data with heat!

From the ENGINEER: "Magnetic recording method could speed up hard drive",
York physicist Thomas Ostler said: ‘Instead of using a magnetic field to record information on a magnetic medium, we harnessed much stronger internal forces and recorded information using only heat.
‘This revolutionary method allows the recording of terabytes — thousands of gigabytes — of information per second, hundreds of times faster than present hard-drive technology. As there is no need for a magnetic field, there is also less energy consumption.’

Recording TERABYTES per SECOND!!!!!!!!!

I am going to just sit here and think about this for a bit, this seems stunning to me.
