    We need to get rid of the gigabyte/gibibyte confusion. As a result, 1 GB now equals 1 GiB! Yes, that means that one bit equals 1.073 bibits but at least disk space is unambiguous now! Also, the kilogram is now 1 pound

    and to make scientists happy, 0° Fahrenheit is now absolute zero and 100 °F is the boiling point of water.
