video memory
<storage> The memory in a computer's graphics adaptor, used
to store the image displayed on a bitmap display. Often
this is built using VRAM chips. There is normally a simple
correspondence between groups of bits in video memory and
the dots or "pixels" on the screen, such that writing to a
given group of bits will alter the appearance of a single dot.
If each pixel corresponds to eight bits then it can have any
of 256 colours (or shades of grey on a monochrome display).
The video display electronics is responsible for reading the
data from video memory and converting it into the necessary
signals to drive the display. Often this includes a {colour
palette} which converts pixel values into RGB triplets.

Memory hole
A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened. The concept was first popularized by George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the Party's Ministry of Truth systematically re-created all potentially embarrassing historical documents, in effect, re-writing all of history to match the often-changing state propaganda. These changes were complete and undetectable.
Examples of use of video memory
1. "A lot of consumers said they don‘t want a new mobile phone but they want all the other stuff the iPhone has." Apple‘s tinkering with its money–making iPod line was done shrewdly, with the company adding video, memory or other coveted features while not pushing up prices, according to analysts.
