I only watched the first 30 seconds, so I am assuming it has to be a joke or analogy of some kind. Logged

No spam TFS. This was Google's youtube April Fools joke. But if you watch it, you see that people store all the disks still in their house. DVD has about 4.37 GB of disk space on it. Even with some serious compression the number of disks required is far more than anyone can store in their house. You probably need an entire street.

I just don't know how much data is stored on youtube. It would be a nice calculation to find out how much space youtube would take up to put on DVD with casings.

I think the Vuvuzela button they did during the World Cup two years ago was one of the funniest things they've done yet. Or linking everything to Rick Astley. Good times Logged
