What A 5MB Hardrive Looked Like In 1956…
via Engadget. Pictured above is IBM’s 305 RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control) hard disk. This hard disk drive was made of 50 24-inch discs stacked together, and could store a whopping 5mb of data! Oh yeh, it weighed nearly a ton and cost $35,000. What could you possibly hold on 5mb today!? One mp3?

Only In Japan: Bo Taoshi (Capture The Flag – Military Style)
This is a crazy new sport in Japan called Bo Taoshi. It’s like Capture the Flag meets Rugby… except much more violence. Check out the video below.
The rules are simple: There are 150 men on each team. Seventy-five men defend their team’s pole, while the other 75 try to pull down the opponents pole. This is done by any means necessary, and as you can see below, the mayhem is brutal, and of course stupid. A winning strategy usually involves running up the backs of your teammates, it seems, and launching yourself at the enemy pole.

French Montana – “Shot Caller” (Prod. Harry Fraud)
I was hanging out with DJ Holiday and French Montana yesterday while they were filming for MTV’s Mixtape Daily and I had a chance to listen to some of the songs from French’s new mixtape entitled Casino Life. “Shot Caller” is CRAZY! It uses the sample from Lords of the Underground’s “Funky Child”… sick! You can check out the LOTUG version after the break.
