Did anyone hear the story about the dutch inventor Jan Sloot from Nieuwegein who supposedly invented a new computer source code, but died by a heart-attack the day before he was going to place the patent at a lawyers office?
The story aired on television a few days ago and is covered in a cloud of mystery many top people in the industry are involved and were ready to invest in the ground-shaking technology, but noone actually ever was told the secret. Supposedly the inventor was able to play 16 movies from a 64 kb chip at high speed without reading from the harddrive, supposed he was able to store 64 full size movies on a single chip.
His invention involved a new way of digitizing data, which was extremely efficient..
