The GB, MB, and soon to be used more frequently TB that companines use is technically correct. The problem is that there are 2 recognized ways of stating capacity. Hard drive companies have been sued over this and have won every time. At 1 GB or less it doesnt matter too much as the size difference is not really that big, but now that we are up to the begining of the 1TB+ hard drives it is actually quite a lot of space difference between the 2 ways the size is represented.
