> The ice media can be preserved for a long time
lol I have some bad news
1979 called, and they want their "Intel Magnetics 7110" one megabit bubble memory chips back. At the time, it seemed that bubble memory would supplant disk, tape, and even core memory (RAM to you). Maybe memristors will happen.
Let's call it Amazon Glacier
New cold storage tier?
Minimal contract measured in literal ice ages.
Incredible abstract image.
Is this article trying to milk an Ig Nobel Prize?
If so, they’re very talented at it
It’s neat but I can’t think of a worse storage medium.
This will be really useful after the nuclear winter.
Can't wait to use the AWS version of this.
Perhaps it will become their cheapest tier of Amazon Glacier?

How did they come up with this idea?
Probably inspired by the first Michael Bay Transformers movie.
