Sony to Stop Manufacturing Floppy Discs After 30 Years

Bill Gates Seductively Throws His Floppy Disk at You

What?  People in this world STILL make 3.5 floppy disks?  Apparently so, yet after nearly 30 years, the once dominate 3.5-inch floppy disk is now officially a dinosaur with Sony's recent announcement that it will end production.

Sony gave us the first 3.5-inch floppy disc back in 1981. And believe it or not, even in 2008, the company could still sell 8.5 million units in Japan alone.
