As far as computers are concerned:
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes
A megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes (or 1024 squared)
A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes (or 1024 cubed)
However, as far as your hard drive is concerned (in an unformatted state) 1,000,000 bytes equal a megabyte, and 1,000,000,000 bytes equal a gigabyte.
It's a difference of opinion, for the most part, and that's why you can't sue Seagate for selling a 250gb drive that only shows up as ~230gb after formatting.
