Pandora's Box Secret Storage
Pandora’s Box Secret Storage – $23.95
Yes, in Greek mythology, Pandora’s box is actually a large jar that unleashed terrible things on mankind. But that didn’t stop us from liking this Pandora’s Box, a secret storage shaped like a large leather bound book.
The Pandora’s box Secret Storage has black felt interior, with magnets to keep the case closed. It will surely keep your personal things secret, hiding in plain sight on your bookshelf. Just don’t store any "ills, toils, and sickness," like the original Pandora’s box, mmkay?

Storage Barn by Gray and Organschi Architecture
This ain’t your father’s backyard shed – take a look at Storage Barn, a workshop and storage facility designed by Elizabeth Gray and Alan Organschi of the firm Gray and Organschi Architecture. The spatial arrangement of the storage area around the outside of the building gives it a fascinating texture:
The building serves as a dimensionally economical and energy efficient storage rack for heavy materials, in which tightly packed and palletized stone and wood are stored in a flexible external shelving system that allows access to any pallet in any position on the rack without disturbing others around it.

Recent Advances in Nanotechnology May Lead to a Massive Increase in Memory Capacity
There are two very exciting recent advances in nanotechnology may soon result in a massive increase in memory capacities of your DVDs and iPods:
Researchers
at the Centre for Micro-Photonics at the Swinburne University of Technology
in Victoria, Australia, created a new material that could lead to new
discs that can store 10,000 times more data than your average DVDs.
The material is made up of layers of gold nanorods suspended in clear plastic spun flat on a glass substrate. Multiple data patterns can be written and read within the same area in the material without interfering with each other. Using three wavelengths and two polarizations of light, the Australian researchers have written six different patterns within the same area. They've further increased the storage density to 1.1 terabytes per cubic centimeter by writing data to stacks of as many as 10 nanorod layers. In a paper published online today in the journal Nature, Gu's group reports recording speeds of about a gigabit per second.

- Berkeley (yay! My alma mater) researcher Alex Zettl and colleagues
created a physical memory cell composed of an iron nanoparticle that
can be moved back and forth in a nanotube. The position of the iron
particle represents the state of the bit, which leads to very dense
and highly stabile memory arrays, resulting in very long lifetime: Link
How stable is stable? Here's a chart that shows typical storage lifetimes vs bit density for a variety of storage media. As you can see, his stuff beats rock!
