Looks like, if there was a battle over what a megabyte meant, "we" lost.

Examples and comparisons with SI prefixes
one kibibit  1 Kibit = 210 bit = 1024 bit
one kilobit  1 kbit = 103 bit = 1000 bit
one mebibyte  1 MiB = 220 B = 1 048 576 B
one megabyte  1 MB = 106 B = 1 000 000 B
one gibibyte  1 GiB = 230 B = 1 073 741 824 B
one gigabyte  1 GB = 109 B = 1 000 000 000 B
