The cloud industry is about to hit a major hurdle which can only be overcome by a move to more innovative storage methods, a new report claims. 

Reached the minimum speed for viability

Microsoft making some headway, working with the University of Washington's Molecular Information Systems Laboratory, or MISL in creating a nanoscale DNA storage writer.

Looks like we aren't in Kansas any more

A team of boffins at the University of Texas at Austin have stuffed a copy of the Wizard of Oz onto a strand of DNA.

Bald murderers rejoice

If you run out of storage you can just spit.

Boffins from Microsoft and the University of Washington are planning to encode cloud data onto synthetic DNA molecules.

Still can’t play counterstrike
