    Cool. For a paltry $5,011,830 I'd have enough storage for all my mp3s.

    If you have a brain implant then why can't you just store your data in the 99.9% of the brain that humans don't use? Hmmm? You wasted $37 on the extra 50 PB me thinks...

    1,000,000,000 (or 1,073,741,824 if you use 2^10 as a base instead of 10^3).

    Yes, just a little elaboration though:
    The computer operates in binary, which is base 2. We as humans (usually) are in base 10 also known as decimal. That makes "kilo" have a value of 1024 instead of 1,000. Thats also why 40 GB hard drives only have 37.2. Because they have 40 billion bytes. But when you measure that in base 2, thats 37.2 GB.
