MB. GB. N now it’s TB. No, not Tuberculosis. What I’m talking about is the 1 terabyte hard drive soon to be brought out by Seagate.

Retailing at $399 (incidentally, Hitachi introduced its 1 terabyte hard drive for the same price two months ago) this great computer must-have is due to hit the shelves in the third quarter of the year.

According to researchers at UC, Berkeley, the information that can be stored on a 1 terabyte hard drive is equivalent to converting 50,000 trees into paper (that’s the unit they’ve been using to measure hard drive capacity ever since the 5 MB HD came to the market) or 10, 000 pages of WordStar documents.

Wow, you might say. But Seagate would definitely have to offer great quality since it has pre-determined competition waiting for it. The world is moving fast, isn’t it?

Think mean, and you might just be able to throw a glass of chilled water down the head of that “Look at me, I’m a hottie” at office, without having to lift a finger.
No, I’m not off my mind! Hitachi’s scandalous brain machine interface equips you to literally do stuff at the speed of thought! Now that’s not exactly the best news for the mommies of all those couch potatoes, but it might well be the answer for all those who would want their mind to help them organize stuff, while their body retires to other more pleasurable things (better left unsaid). This one might just be the best technology developed in the 21st century! Sure it would be some time before you and I could afford it, (more…)

Mobility By Mark Raby Monday, March 26, 2007 09:14 Los Angeles (CA) - Helio today announced its latest cell phone, which it claims is the world’s first to include both a Qwerty keyboard and a numeric keypad. The phone, named the Helio Ocean, uses 3G cellular technology for wireless entertainment and communication. It has a 2.4 inch, 260K color QVGA screen, a 2 megapixel digital camera, and playback capabilities fr MP3, AAC, WMA, and MPEG4. It comes with an internal memory of 200 MB and a micro SD card slot, which allows for up to 2 GB of additional storage. In another rarity for a phone, the Ocean also has a built-in USB port for transfer of music and video files directly from a computer. It also has advanced e-mail and messaging features, including a universal hub for six different e-mail programs (Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Gmail, Earthlink, and Helio’s proprietary e-mail application), as well as support for all major IM programs. The Ocean can also alert users about when their friends are online, regardless of the instant messenger being used. The Ocean is set for release later this spring and will carry a suggested retail price of $295.
