I'm pretty sure it was Marsters.
Well that's what I thought, but then I read people here saying that Marsters would never come back, and generally I believe other people well before I trust my own senses. 
Well I don't know why anyone would think he wouldn't want to come back.
One a complete side-note, I just finished watching Skinwalker. If this new group really wants to impress, Lois should find this bracelet.

"No my twin brother was a former "X-men" team member"
That's actually a pretty ironic comment when we're talking about a voice-over.
That's not ironic, it's just common sense! [/Bender]
I gave this an average. Even with my significant computer science experience and training, I have not been able to define exactly what a "megagig" is or why I should be concerned about "40 megagigs of Luthorcorp RAM".
Nor have I been able to figure out how Oliver's tech guy was able to connect to the "ghost rawter" Clark was carrying even though it wasn't plugged in to anything as simple as a power socket. Neither was the USB thumb drive the guy used.

^Yeah, those two things got my attention as well.
Overall a good episode. I've been very impressed with this season so far, especially after the last few less than stellar seasons we have been treated to. The new show runners have managed to breath new life into the show. It was a smart move shifting the focus to Metropolis. I'm also glad they are finally moving forward with Lois and Clark. Can't wait for January!

IMO, that's not a bad idea, it keeps it from getting hopelessly dated or attacked by technical savvy.
Apparently it has some kind of backup supply and a wi-fi connection. That part was a bit eyebrow-raising but then again it's Smallville we're talking about here.
It must come after Yotttabytes.
If that were the case, 40,000 yottabytes would, at the current rate of RAM, cost more money than Lex Luthor has--probably more than the United States, Great Brittan, Japan, and Germany have ... combined.

Arguing the technical accuracy of a show where meteor rocks give people super powers and a yellow sun makes alien-born Clark Kent a "Superman".
I don't see how this should matter. For starters, technically savvy are more likely to ridicule the lack of research. 20 minutes on Google/Wiki probably could have given them a more accurate answer.
As far as, the "outdatedness," the show does take place in 2008 so it doesn't have to be "futuristic." I think the IBM Blue Gene has something like 70 or so terabytes of memory. They could've used that as a model.
This really isn't like the infamous Data bit, where he spits out some gobbledygook and it's clear they seriously underscored it. There's been a lot of advancements in understanding how the stuff works and will work. The current model for terminal obsolescence is much more accurate than it was 20 years ago. I mean, the afore mentioned yottabyte is one septillion bytes. That's not enough? That's not to mention there's petta, exa, and zetta in between.
They could have figured something out. It just made them look lazy.
Except, you need a little reality to keep things grounded.
My daughter missed it last week to go to swim practice, so we watched the recording together tonight.
She was peppering me with questions about Doomsday, and even asked me three times what his name was again <Doomsday!!!!!!!>
So after, I went into the back storeroom and popped the tape on an old box I'd kept hidden for 15 years or so, and pulled out the 'Death of Superman' series. I could only find a handful of the followups, but at least she'll see what Doomsday was all about.
I still had the death issue in the original plastic bag with the poster, trading card, stickers etc. Brought back a lot of memories.
Pulled out all the Mike Grell run of Green Arrow for myself, that'll keep me going for a couple weeks.

Wouldn't it be 40 petabytes? A mega gigabyte should be 10^6 * 10^9, which is 10^15, denoted by the peta prefix.
