this is the real reason why you lose the space, the 1000 mb = 1 gb is a way to rip consumers off, sad part is that operating systems are now reading a gb as 1000 mb, snow leopard. 

And rightly so

 

Sure it would be ideal if they used the Gibibyte, and refered to it as such. But surely using the gigabyte and refering to it as the gigabyte (ie snow leopard) is better than using the gibibyte and refering to it as a gigabyte (Tiger, Leopard, XP, Vista, Windows 7)?

i dont know about that, i mean binary is the the format that computers read, and under binary 1 gb = 1024 mb
