The Millipede
Looking like a bunch of old phonograph needles on top of a page of Braille, the bumps on IBM's probe storage are actually tiny indentations that have been "punched" into the plastic material. Introduced in 2002, IBM said that some day it expects as many as 25 million pages of text will be stored in an area no larger than a postage stamp.
