Nevermind, apparently this is the more widely accepted standard.

I was always taught the following...
1024 Kilobytes is 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes is 1 Gigabyte
To convert from KB to GB one should divide KB by 1024 twice (or divide once by
1048576) because there are 1,048,576 Kilobytes in a Gigabyte, not 1,000,000.
When I saw Google showed 1GB = 1000MB I definitely thought something is wrong.

So, I had no idea about Kibibytes or Mebibytes before reading that article, and
I think they're great! However, if I type in "1KB", I think google should
assume I mean "Kibibyte" and not "Kilobyte". However, if I typed "1 kilobyte" I
think it should keep the same behavior, to inform people about kibibytes.
