Bits Gets Perpendicular in Hitachi Video, 30,000 Song iPod On The Way

Those who toil in the creation of B to B advertising know there’s seldom a time when the work approaches the level of so-called “fun” their counterparts in consumer advertising supposedly experience working on those cool accounts like Apple, Volkswagen or any beer account. [Ed. I know. I’ve been there.] Thanks to Andreas, after viewing this little animated video created for Hitachi, there’s proof at least a few who work in B to B are having a bit of “fun.”

To explain how a 6GB hard drive, like the one in an MP3 player, can hold 30,000 songs instead of 3,000, this Hitachi video illustrates, amusingly, how lining up the bits in a perpendicular manner (as opposed to laying flat), can dramatically improve a hard drive’s storage capacity. A 30,000 song iPod would sell pretty well, don’t ya think?
