Black holes as write-only memory?

Looks like they're still trying to figure it out. He went on to mention Hawking radiation and then the holographic principle. Most of these lectures dip into too much math for me to follow each entire lecture. I wish there was a higher level overview of information theory. Are you a science fan or scholar?
I got a master in IT, so at least some of those sections are talking to me, but I'm far from being a scholar ;)
